Sadly, the ‘high-tech’ games are going to the console (man, do I despise consoles) and are then ported to the PC... The games from 10 years ago are better than these newer ported console games..

When I switched to Linux, I lost a few games, but it was worth it. (Most of the games will run on Linux, if yo0u are using Wine and know how to set it up).

I dispise consoles too, they are for tourists not hardcore gamers. Porting games to consoles or even worse developing games for consoles and then porting them to PCs has been the primary reason for games design sucking for the last 10 years.

Any emulator including wine is going to have issues. Add that to the required overhead and games that require absolutely top end specs aren't going to run well period.

What is needed is a suite of APIs that completes with DirectX but is easier to develop on.
