Fantastic to see it working so well, although it does seem to stutter a lot, so hopefully performance can be worked out. Still, that's quite incredible progress for Wine.

Quoting: LeopardWhat about no Tux no bucks?Not everyone agrees to that hard-rule. It's not a one size fits all rule.
There's also the people who purchased it on the previous promises of a Linux port and got stung by it, quite a lot of people I imagine.

If the one is in Linux gaming more than one year , should've learned by now to not believing promises or kickstarters when it comes to Linux.
Anyway , i looked up to his profile and it seems he is dual booting so my mistake.
But i must say that : I'm not agreeing with that kind of happiness at all. If Wine gaming really becomes a thing , we would never see in house ports or official supports.
Developers will be like : " They're doing fine with Wine , why should i bother with official Linux support?"
And sadly ; Wine usage is becoming a piracy tool. Check out Wine forums. There are so much people which asking running ETS2 on Wine , Total War Attila in Wine , CiV VI in Wine. When you say; that game is available on Linux they're not responding at all.
Wine = Sacred place for pirated Windows games on Linux , without virus or malware threat.
Also it seems John Carmack was true about his Linux gaming thoughts.

Wine has been around for a long time and so far it hasn't really stopped any games coming to Linux.
Wine is a fantastic tool.
There will always be games Linux doesn't get and people should not be forced into giving them up or never getting a chance to play them. I take a much more pragmatic approach than a lot of people on this issue.
Starcraft II for example, one of my favourite RTS games ever made. It will never come to Linux, but that doesn't mean I have to give it up.
I would rather people used Wine on Linux, than Windows.

You have to teach me to run some of Blizzard's stuff on wine.
Maybe a tutorial some day :)
