    Unless they change CPU architectures.

    And even then it’s no guarantee. Plenty of games needed support from the likes of GoG to run. Hell, I couldn’t even play Ex Machina because I had a HDR monitor and the game detected that and completely broke. Disabling HDR in Windows did nothing.

      well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
      Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

      A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

      Ex Machina the movie or the 1984 “game”? That’s before Mario was even a thing.

              That doesn’t make any sense. I can play multiple games from 2017 with no problem at all. I play games from 2012 and up just fine too. That’s something the devs messed up for that specific game, or it’s a problem with your PC.

                I have a hard time believing HDR wasn’t around in 2017 in some capacity. This sounds like a big that existed on launch, yeah?
