Good thing we have proton. That's doing for PC gaming what emulators did for console preservation.

  Almost surprised they don't just do some WINE-on-windows on inconvenient versions. Might end up solving problems both forward and backward.

    That seems like something GoG[0] might do, with its semi-focus on making old games playable on modern systems. While their launcher also uses Electron, users aren't obligated to use it. Games are DRM-free and can be downloaded through a regular browser. [0]: https://www.gog.com/ https://www.gog.com/

    Wine has some Windows backend support (partly because of ReactOS), I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Valve make Proton run old games that are no longer supported on Windows.
