@technomancy it‘d be quite annoying for a few reasons
you‘d want heuristics for what file to run (esp for sizelimited, it‘s not uncommon for a release to come with different binaries for different hardcoded resolutions), some modern releases might be a website that runs in a browser
on the other hand, larger releases might come with a window that lets you pick resolution, so there’s some interaction required. some also won’t quit until you press ESC and loop instead
finally, while the executable itself is prrrrroooobably fine these days, shader compatibility can be mixed (opengl NVIDIA only isn’t super common but things do be like that in rare cases), and perf, who knows. If it’s old enough that the thinkpad beats most things that were available at the time, sure, but if not, well, if you optimize for size, your tradeoff might be speed.
