(I could be wrong about that, of course.) Not really, Transformers: The game, doesn't work under WINE with the same GPU it does under Windows (GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP8X 128Mb) just because it lacks an OpenGL extension that DirectX knows how to work out correctly, and so the game works under Windows and it throws an error saying you don't have Pixel Shader 1.1 in WINE. Same happens with Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has blocky-to-blank textures (my guess is that it's a shader emulation issue) and WAY less FPS (not to mention stupid crash & sound bugs), compared to playing it under Windows, fully working. Requirements can differ. With the same GPU, I get about 5-10 FPS less under WINE than in Windows when playing World of Warcraft. I changed GPUs and haven't tested since then, but the difference was -very- noticeable. Hard Disk load was less though =).

Requiring everyone to inter it would be counter productive. Then make a selection box to choose if what you're submitting is a program or a game, problem solved and everyone gets what they want.
