Why port - the games use very little of the windows API. They shouldn't go very deep into COM. An emulator layer could do the trick, and moore's law will take care of the performance penalty in a year or two.
If my 7970 makes sure bioshock runs as well it did on GTX 7900 6 years back that is fine for me.
And the truth is I want to switch. But my 200 games are holding me back. If Gabe is serious about the platform - he has smart people, they can produce something.
- zxcdw 14y agoThe issue is so much more complex than providing an "emulator layer". There's no practical way to provide a software layer except for what Wine does, and it too is riddled with issues here and there and some are fatal while others simply make usability a pain. And it's been under development for years.
