yes, it is not possible unless there is a real commercial demand. If there
is any other way to make this possible then there would be a revolution in
the linux demand ( running these 3d games in wine is trouble-some) i also
thought of creating some great emulator, which would make this possible...
(like the dos-box, other game emulators)
Which would enable people to install these games .exe at ease (unlike the UI
in wine) and play it safely
Just an idea
