And? I fail to see how is that so valuable on its own.

I mean don’t get me wrong I do see some merits but realistically if Valve went that way they would struggle getting of the ground and it would just be a waste of time/money.

Possibly one pathway that could actually be feasible would be to leverage Wine to gain significant marketshare and then incrementally transition to a more “native” approach.

How? I mean what could MS actually do about this? Besides trying to compete by offering alternative options.
