Quoting: XylemonMeh.
depends on what you want from wine, lol
new games? no way i'm ever running one in wine, either developers port it or they don't see my money. principle here. wine=MEH!!
old games that will never be ported? i actually got my whole collection of ps3 games running (-3 which are not on pc) and they still work better than they ever did on ps3. i could finally toss that dust collector into trash (sell, off course). i just waited for games to be on sale and i got whole 70+ games i needed for this step at cost of 180eur which is downright cheap, especially since i plan on selling my ps3 with all games for more than that. wine=my best friend

I completely agree. We need to make the push for more native ports. Publishers and developers need to know that there are no excuses for not having a linux port these days.
Wine is a fantastic piece of software and it's reasonably good at what it does (and it's the fastest way to install and delete "Windows", ha ha). I play a few games using Wine but that's only because I know there won't be a Linux port. I only use it as a last resort (installing Windows isn't even on my list of options)

Quoting: BladeforceThere's no denying that Wine is an absolutely incredible achievement and with literally no documentation to go off either. Wine is absolutely fantastic for windows programs under GNU I run quite a few older games from the 1998 era flawlessly that will never be ported to GNU today.
I applaud the wine developers for their fantastic contribution to GNU.
I have ZERO respect for anyone that just says meh to such fantastic software and obviously has no understanding of the hard wor the wine developers put into this. Long live Wine!
as much as i agree with you on "wine is awesome", there is legitimate "meh" reason. if we keep buying new games to run under wine, then we're just negating the reasons why developers should do linux ports. why would they if sales are the same? and as good wine it is, it isn't as good as real port

This situation stay mainly on AAA titles from companies like as (EA - KONAMI - UBISOFT - BETHESDA - NAMCO and many others) or on old titles where dont have port
On my case buy games (mainly AAA titles) only if game runs on wine, for example this titles

as much as i like your channel for some games, but don't you think you're giving out some really fscked up message?
"it is ok if AAA games don't get ported, we just want to punish games that are made by indie. INDIE MUST PORT, AAA IS EXCUSED"
remember me was released on june 2013 and in that time linux had quite a lot of acceptance already. we either show we're not prepared to take sh1t or they'll think porting is not needed since revenue is the same. yea, it is harder since you have to grind your teeth for a while, but it is all for good cause
there is another fscked up message here. imagine Aspyr, Feral or someone else wants to port that game. they won't get money from anyone who bought it sooner. what does that say about value in porting to linux? now, if many people watch your channel, how many will do the same as you and equally deprive porters of earnings
