According to some research I did a few years back, EA currently owns the rights to Full Tilt! Pinball, which is what 3D Pinball Space Cadet was based on. EA, if you have a single shred of decency, open source Pinball!
From what I've heard from videos by Microsoft devs on why it was dropped between XP and Vista, the source code is obtuse and very difficult to port/work on.

Would be nice. But they all work just fine with wine and/or proton.
I haven't tried wine in ~15 years, but it was pretty useless for gaming back then. Has it much improved?

Basically the entire premise of the Steam Deck is built on WINE (via a Valve-developed fork, Proton).
Fork is certainly technically the correct word, but "distribution" might give more the right impression.

I have many fond memories of playing openra as "LAN" game on the gaming weekends we used to have in a few open source groups I've been in. I can't recommend "saturday gaming" enough, for anyone involved in any foss community, set up a recurring gaming weekend! You get bonus points if you make it mostly or exclusively foss games!

I built a Linux gaming desktop 5 years ago. The only thing that regularly causes more than minor issues is that many online games use incompatible anticheat technology. I pretty much play exclusively single-player games on PC, so it hasn't been a practical issue for me.
