Because Windows costs lots of money, dual booting is extremely annoying and most of all because Wine is for many games enough. > Why even put up with all that hassle of configuring Wine to MAYBE get a game > to work? Well, thats why I pointed to PlayOnLine/WineDoors, those tools can reduces all the hassle to zero. If those tools would include patches and mods they could be even easier to use then real Windows. > And even if you do get it to work, you will still be lacking in certain > functionality (forced to play at lower resolutions, low frame rates, > weird graphical artifacts or bugs, lack of network play, etc.). The whole point is that this is simply not the case. Wine has matured a lot over the years and there are quite a few games that work close to perfection in Wine and many more that work good enough that dual booting just isn't worth it. > Instead of pushing Wine, if proprietary games are a must, then why not push > those that actually support Linux? Of course you can push those to, but when you push just those you simply don't end up with a large enough collection of games. All means to play games on Linux should be pushed and promoted, not just a subset of them. -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ Blog: http://grumbel.blogspot.com/ JabberID: xmpp:[email protected] ICQ: 59461927 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gaming Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gaming More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
