Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: razing32Hah not likely, I just tried Lutris, then Wine by itself, then Wine Staging...couldn't get the darn Blizzard app working at all. No Starcraft II for me today!Quoting: liamdaweWine 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 :)
It runs for me but all buttons are missing.
Too bad there is no Battle net CLI app ;)

Quoting: LeopardIf Wine gaming really becomes a thing , we would never see in house ports or official supports.
Don't we already have this situation? We either have a few developers who make proper native ports, or we have developers who use cross platform engines to begin with. The rest are using very unportable engines, and then use contractors to wrap them in Linux compatible APIs (Feral, VP and etc. do that). So Wine isn't any worse than the last variant, and in fact I'd argue it's better because it's FOSS. If you complain about Wine, you should also complain about companies not making native ports, but using wrappers from Feral and others.
And "official support" is usually very short lived when wrappers are concerned. History demonstrated that. And in contrast, Wine developers can still fix bugs which affect games which came out a long time ago.

Quoting: LeopardAnd sadly ; Wine usage is becoming a piracy tool.
Stop this nonsense please. Otherwise, should we also claim that wheel has become a crime tool, so it needs to be avoided?

You need to mention for people that it's not stock Wine and not stock staging either. Otherwise it's misleading and will only cause confusion for those who won't notice your video description. So be considerate.

Quoting: LeopardWhat about no Tux no bucks?
While most the time if the developer is in a position to release a Linux version I will argue this point. Unfortunately there are many older games or DX11 games that are left in the dust that won't get a Linux release any time soon, or ever. So you can choose to NOT buy them, you are missing out on some amazing stuff however!
Also if their games work well via Wine that can convince developers to look at making it official, as we have seen happen in the past. Plus it brings more people over to Linux platform which we need, people just want to play their games, they don't care about the politics of it all! MMKAY
