I have to agree here, promoting the use of wine to play commercial games
does nothing towards FOSS gaming or promoting ubuntu. The problem being that
commercial games have the time and money to invest in engines, storylines,
etc etc. I think the FOSS community could do as good a job, if there was a
unified effort on making games that have visual appeal, high replayability
and excellent multiplayer options.
