What's so interesting to me is that Win10 refuses to run some of the early 2000s game at all. I have a soft spot for Far Cry 1, no matter how much tweaking I did on its Win10 installation it-just-won't-run. Run the game on Linux through Wine or Proton? Effortless.
I know it's huge technical debt but Microsoft is really doing poor job, or no job at all, on its backward compatibility.
Now, Gabe, put some headcount towards Half Life 3 please, cheers

At this point, running old games without d3d8to9[0] or dgVoodoo2[1] is impossible.
