I'm very confused because I thought the expansion being added was released in 2015, and I was VERY curious why a niche PC game from 1998 would get an expansion 17 years later, but the studio responsible for the expansion in named 2015. Amazing.

I bought the game and never knew there was an expansion!

What was censored I wonder? First game was occasionally suggestive but tame

How do I access the settings? The game displays in a tiny window, and I can't find any resolution options in the menu.

I also have my task bar at the top of the screen and it covers up the top of the game window. But that might be a Windows problem.

Edit: Oh right, the video options are under 'Controls'.

That would explain why some people were reporting that it was removed from their libraries the other day.

Got more than that now, frankly. We've got people doing all sorts of things.

Yeah, we mulled over that one a bit, but the engine has basically no possible scaling code for the menus at all. We would have to do an incredible overhaul to update even just that.
Yeah if it was a lot of work probably not worth it. It was just suprising when I booted it up, and I had to double check it has updated (half expected that weird menu that every source game always had). It's not like you're spending that much time in them at the end of the day anyway.
