Wine is great, it comes really close, and then it breaks overnight for no reason. I was playing CS:GO and playing it rather frequently and then all of the sudden it has simply stopped working. On the other hand, all of the Steam games with Linux native ports work great on both my Intel and Nvidia graphics setups. I hope Carmack is wrong and I hope Steam for Linux will drive the point home. Also, the whole "support" point is lost on me. If the impetus is really post-release support, I can guarantee you going through Wine is going to complicate things greatly... and you still have the same supposed moving target of Linux underneath. It's not as if using Wine normalizes sysv init vs systemd vs upstart or pulseaudio vs oss vs alsa. Those issues are still there and anyone who games on Wine seriously knows that those issues are MORE present with Wine than they are with the native ports.
