Hello, I was just thinking about how to encourage software developers to publish games for platforms other than Win32. All is about marketing - even though game is working perfectly under Linux/WINE (for example - Prey), game publisher won't give any information about it. I was thinking about a certificate or something for software publishers. Something like a small label that you can attach to your product that will inform people that it works under other platforms than Windows - something like Games for Windows. With this, game devs will have one more "supported" platform, and they will be encouraged to change their code slightly to make the application work under WINE (you can make things work in different ways, sometimes you need to change a very small piece of code to make it wine-compatible). For example, the label might look like "Works fine under WINE" and the WINE version (to make sure the product will actually work for user - he will know which WINE version to use to avoid regressions etc) and WINE logo. Companies care more about certificates, logos etc. With this certificate they will be able to convince Linux and Mac users to buy the product. And, people that are using other platforms will have more apps and games to play.
