Could you build this?

No LANCommander is an extensive gaming platform requiring native C++ SDKs, Windows API interop/hooking, legacy Win32 launcher compatibility, and cross-platform desktop UI development in Avalonia/.NET.

What it would actually take: The platform requires a centralized ASP.NET Core server managing game metadata, backups, and user saves, communicating with an Avalonia desktop client. The core difficulty lies in native Windows interop: creating a C++ SDK and game interposers (DLL hooking) that intercept legacy network calls, mock LAN IP broadcasts, inject CD keys, and manage game save states across heterogeneous 90s/2000s PC games.
