it is impossible for a platform to support every program ever; wine will never be able to run all games; it is just impossible to do so.

It’s like not using a game console just because it doesn’t support games from other consoles; it’s impossible to support every platform ever (and it would be difficult to convince the company to even do so).


Same issue is in Windows 10 too; old games designed for an older windows OS cannot run because they could not account for modern OSes.
