Actually... It's more common than not for an old game to not work correctly (or at all) in recent versions of Windows without hacks and compatibility wrappers.

Actually... It's more common than not for an old game to not work correctly (or at all) in recent versions of Windows without hacks and compatibility wrappers. Try to run a DirectX 6 game on Windows 10. Today, WINE is closer to be that "one continuous system" than Windows is.
- JamesLeonis 9y agoA "continuous platform" was more aspirational than fully realized. I bet I could find some of my DirectX9-era games of mine that won't run past Windows 8. But the lack of an hard artificial churn like consoles combined with an open continuous API made PC gaming feel resilient in the face of the chaos.
- larrik 9y agoYeah, my Rocksmith 2014 doesn't work at all in Windows 10 due to some weird compatibility thing with the cable that Ubisoft refuses to acknowledge. Meanwhile it runs great in Wine, thankfully.
