ParticipantOh 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.

Participanthell, 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.

ParticipantThe 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.

ParticipantI thought wine and port were two completely differnet liquors…

KeymasterPort 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!
