Pvp is completely dead, which I think was the game’s greatest longevity strength. Mechanically it’s quite dated but the writing is very fan service

The tool sets you’re looking for fall under a category called IaC (infrastructure as code). They allow you to define environments and add installers and configuration to those environments. Typically they require an extra network-accessable server to act as a controller for the toolset.

My personal go-to at work for exactly what you’re asking is Puppet.

Other popular options: Sccm, Chef, Ansible

Configuration Manager / intune / sccm / whatever they change the name to next is the first-party solution from MS. It has always been able to modify an existing install. Push out a fresh piece of software, reconfigure one, uninstall one, force a group to update a gpo or update windows, etc…

Most universities use intune/puppet/chef for this in labs and for deployed desktops/laptops to faculty/staff to keep things up to date and consistent.

Intune is kinda point-and-clickey for sure, but would you not consider puppet and ansible IaC? What would you classify it if not?
