Quoting: ProfessorKaos64I'm so glad they removed the generic "choose your display/graphics level" launch box after I tested this for them. Those are the worst, especially in BPM.
I usually quite like having a launcher, but for SteamOS I imagine it's a nuisance. Lots of games pick the wrong resolution and monitor which makes them really useful for me.

Wine is great, even I can admit that. I've put plenty of hours into Starcraft II in the past thanks to Wine.

Wine is one of the only reasons I was able to stay on Linux some time ago, so thanks to Wine this site is still here as well.

There will always be games people absolutely want to play, so if there's a way on Linux and that game will likely never come to Linux, why shun people who want to use it? It's their choice and having a choice is what matters.

Buy native games of course whenever you can, but we should never shun people for playing games they love ON Linux just because of Wine.

My girlfriend is an Overwatch addict, so I may even pick up Overwatch if it eventually gets good support in Wine so I can share in the fun with my girlfriend. Wine has its uses.
