> while the win32 versions will be kept supported in perpetuity Yeah.. no. I am surprised people would still believe the claim that Win32 has "good backwards compatibility", specially for games, when even the TFA is claiming that a Windows 7 game is _not_ going to work on Windows 11 without "maintenance". I'd not go as far as say that all Windows 7 games won't work, but it is definitely a good chunk. And I believe it's getting worse, with Windows 10 era games likely unable to run in "Windows 12". I already have at least one piece of software with runs in early Windows 10 but not in late Windows 10. People are resorting to literally use the Wine libraries in Windows to run old games. At this point, to target a Linux API doesn't seem that bad and likely would even be easier than having to maintain your win32 game AND wine.
