I honestly don't understand how someone dislike WINE...

I don't know in which world you're living but in my world Linux gamers make up the 1% of the entire gaming community, meaning that we count almost as zero to some developers and publishers (such as Bethesda, EA, Activision, etc..).

A lot of games aren't going to be ported soon and some of them will NEVER get ported to Linux, due to them being too old or being in an evil copyright limbo or other bullshit.

In the meantime Wine provides to the Linux-only user a great chance to get a lot of these games to work without the need of dual boot.
Sure, sometimes is counter-productive because it "counts" as Window$ purchase, but we are in a situation where A LOT of gamers don't try/switch to Linux because native ports are lacking, especially compared to an OS that can run all the games available.
Most of them don't even know that Wine exists and that with it the amount of playable games on Linux duplicate or even triplicate, making Linux an extremely solid alternative.

I.e. a guy who plays just Age of Empire II can wait 7-8 years to get a native Linux port and then switch to Linux (and in the meantime using Windoze) or switch and play the game with Wine until the native ports is available (if ever..).

Another example: I bough a 10yo used audio-mixer on ebay and it came with a software-cd, naturally Window$-only, so I can go on and say No TUX NO BUCKS and go with this mentality in an audio-store to find some compatible mixer (and say goodbye to the cheap ebay prices) or just run the software on my Linux rig where it may run even better then on a newer Micro$oft OS; Wine compatibility is quite famous.

IMO Wine is the key to get more people to permanently switch to Linux! I'm pretty sure that videos like this one about No Man's Sky impress the gaming community, especially if someone see that the game runs better on a non supported OS and maybe even with a lower hardware.

As for performances (excluding Gallium Nine), there were 1500+ developers who worked on Wine and it was written using reverse-engineering to avoid copyright issues, there are still thing to improve but they're really getting there..
And unlike the OS that some of you dual-boot or suggest to virtualize, Wine it's open-source, financed by donations and free to use, modify and fork for everyone.
You may think that is useless, or that sucks.. In my opinion it's a godsend and one of the best software that Linux has to offer..

I really enjoyed re-playing Dead Island (not the definitive) but after 12h of super-stable gameplay it just keep crashing, I guess I'll continue it with Wine if it keeps freezing.
Such a great game even if sometimes is broken as hell [External Link] :)

I always play Insurgency even just for a short match, such a great game!

Then Mini Metro, Badlands, Party Hard, Limbo and Nation Red, I really enjoy them all, but Party Hard is becoming a bit hard :)

On a previous used PC that I sold last month I was playing Red Faction Guerrilla with Wine Gallium Nine, fantastic game with a great destructible environment, can't wait to continue it..

With my GF: we finished Life is Strange Ep.1 and now playing Fahrenheit: Indigo Propecy and a bit of Condemned: Criminal Origins with Wine!

I gave it a try with Wine and I have to say that I didn't enjoy it a lot.
Anyway it still has some serious fun (but not like SS Double D) and it should run on super low-end hardware too.

Waiting to try it again natively :)

Nice!

I do not own the game but I tried it on a free weekend and it was working great on AMD!

A lot of people turn the PC on just to play this game. With some constant and stable updates some of them may give Linux a try, or at least consider it as a good alternative!

This is what is written if you scroll to the bottom of the main page:

"Bundle Stars is the official retail partner of 600+ game publishers"

Meaning that they are 100% legit and the keys are coming straight from the publisher!
I.e Batman is 75% off on there but also on Steam and Indiegala (probably somewhere else too)..

I love to buy from them because they have some very good bundle with huge cuts, like the "Grand Master Bundle"

I bought it and what I tried work with Wine (pride of nations and civil war II), not sure about the other but there should be no problem.

Also the games included in the "War Heroes bundle" work with Wine!

Nice too see all these d3dx10 improvements! I also own Just Cause 2 and can't wait to play it!

Quoting: Comandante oardoNow that I have Crossover, first I'm gonna try Tomb Raider, and after, Metro 2033.

The original Metro should work fine, but check the Wine apps database [External Link] because it probably needs some tweaks

Tomb raider works super fine with Wine!
