    Oh come on, enough is that “no wine port” bullshit.
    Do you expect them to natively port every single 10 year old game ?

    We have Source, UE4, CryEngine, Unity, and more, this draws a very bright future for new games and I couldn’t care less if System Shock 2 or some other oldie runs with Wine or anything else.

    hell, just about every Mac game from GoG comes wrapped in wine.

    Pssst! The’re going to sell Witcher 2 ..*drops MIC*

    I’ll put it like this, simply.

    Did you buy every Loki port from 1999/2001? I did.

    I watched the hopes of Linux native gaming fall. FK all if I let it happen again. No, not on our watch.

    P.S.
    DOSBOX and WINE are turbo fine (for old games) in our books.

    Games available for sell without the mention of a wrapper ..not so much.

    The average gamer does not know what a wrapper is and does not care. They only care about the game running smoothly.

    There’s nothing wrong with The Witcher 2 being ported the way it is, there’s a problem with Virtual Programming being fucked up and they need to fix that shit. The Witcher 2 qualifies as an old game in my book, it wouldn’t be ok if they did the same thing with Witcher 3.

    I did not have the money to buy Loki ports when they where released, all I did was cracking games � on Windows. Now my “job” is making sure that these (pirated) games from Loki run well on current distro, and they do.

    Port is a kind of wine, yes. Originally from the Oporto region in Portugal but later bastardized by the UK and US wine industries.

    When it comes to Linux though, wine is not a port!
