@foone Some parts of Blizzard were still using MFC back in 2018, and I have every reason to believe they're still using it today. Sometimes live-service games run for 20 years, and if it ain't broke you don't fix it.

I google "how do keyboard shortcuts work in MFC" and the little AI summary is like "foone, foone... It's 2025. You don't need to think about MFC. You're free. We're all free."

This also applies to other decades, of course. I spend most of my time in the 90s but you can retrotech into the 80s, 70s, or even 00s.

@foone last serious reversing I did was as a teenager in the 80s, to cheat at games (immortality!) and take out copy protection (surely the statute of limitations has run out on that by now so I can confess 😀)

Warcraft (III), Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Prince of Persia (The Sands of Time), Grand Theft Auto (Vice City), Dark Forces (Jedi Outcast), C#/.NET, Firefox (aka Phoenix/Firebird), Steam, BitTorrent.All are closer to the August 1981 release of the original IBM 5150 PC than today.

@foone … Starting with the release of the Apple Macintosh! (Which was influential enough that the original PC is now extinct—all subsequent personal computers for the next 23 yers aped the Mac style of user interaction, and when they adopted a new paradigm thereafter it was another Apple imitation—the multitouch iOS style UI.)

@foone A: it’s part of why my retro fetish ends at the win threshold. Plenty of 8 bit fun to be had. No mfc.B: I think McCarthy’ Dynamics of Software Development mentions how/why they created mfc. First generation of c++ (like Microsoft c v6?) got low adoption, with random excuses. They added mfc and app/messaging/etc templates to ease devs into it, and thus Visual C++ was born.
