Quoting: Dosilwhy can't we have starcraft and C&C style rts's people keep throwing out old board game style strategy games like it's innovative where are the RTS'S!
An RTS like Starcraft would be incredibly expensive to make and indies just don't have that sort of money.

Check out Planetary Annihilation though, it's close.

The Wine Development Release 1.7.15 Is Now Available
22 Mar 2014 at 1:37 pm UTC

Quoting: fochtHello folks,

'fixed' also means someone bothered to revisit old bugs, checked it with recent wine version and found it working.
Many bugs that are probably fixed are just rotting for years in Bugzilla (users report them and never retest/revisit).
Also many bugs are invalid from start (use of outdated/broken wine versions, wineprefix/installation messed up...).

If you have severely limited resources it takes a long time to go through that many bugs and manually validate/investigate them.
The active part of Wine community which does bug triaging/fixing is pretty small compared to many other open/closed source projects.
And yet considerable success is achieved with each release, making many apps and games work better.

Regards,

Anastasius Focht
Well, personally I am waiting on http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28268 [External Link] to be fixed, reported on 2011-09-03 and with latest wine it still doesn't work.

Only just seen someone wanted feedback, so I tested and yup still an issue.
