I'm not exactly sure what studios to do in this situation -- WINE looks like cheating. It's not like there's some secret council that's like "mruhahaha Fortinte will be the destruction of gaming on Linux" -- it's that having stronger cheating protections is worth more than the losing the revenue of Linux gamers.

But these games commonly employ intrusive anticheating software, do they not? Regardless of its effectiveness, that counts as a large part of the genre being fundamentally broken.
