Quoting: BladeforceThere's no denying that Wine is an absolutely incredible achievement and with literally no documentation to go off either. Wine is absolutely fantastic for windows programs under GNU I run quite a few older games from the 1998 era flawlessly that will never be ported to GNU today.
I applaud the wine developers for their fantastic contribution to GNU.
I have ZERO respect for anyone that just says meh to such fantastic software and obviously has no understanding of the hard wor the wine developers put into this. Long live Wine!

as much as i agree with you on "wine is awesome", there is legitimate "meh" reason. if we keep buying new games to run under wine, then we're just negating the reasons why developers should do linux ports. why would they if sales are the same? and as good wine it is, it isn't as good as real port

Quoting: XylemonMeh.

depends on what you want from wine, lol

new games? no way i'm ever running one in wine, either developers port it or they don't see my money. principle here. wine=MEH!!

old games that will never be ported? i actually got my whole collection of ps3 games running (-3 which are not on pc) and they still work better than they ever did on ps3. i could finally toss that dust collector into trash (sell, off course). i just waited for games to be on sale and i got whole 70+ games i needed for this step at cost of 180eur which is downright cheap, especially since i plan on selling my ps3 with all games for more than that. wine=my best friend

i thought i saw this game supports controller. not that i mind, i bought it to support developers in their linux endeavour more or less

xcom is awesome game/port and thanks to feral. it raises my hopes i'll someday see native tomb raider on linux. i already own them on ps3, i own them on steam and i'd probably buy it once more just to gift&support. well, i'd even buy CoD just to support them, although hardest thing there would be confirming linux version with playing. paying is easy, playing CoD? not so much

Quoting: FutureSutureCD Projekt RED, take note. This is how it's done. Feral and Aspyr FTW.

i thought so to, but someone pointed me to pool where GOG was asking native or wine wrappers. most of the people asked for later.
