There is nothing wrong with "Wine type encapsulation" ports, especially when we're talking about full screen games that don't need to interact with any sort of desktop metaphor. If it works, the user just doesn't c

AAA games can be ported from Windows to Linux in a matter of days if they already work well in Wine. When they don't, extending Wine to make them work is vastly cheaper than you probably think.

Perhaps not, though if you intend to commit suicide, and the difference between a gun and overwork is massive compensation to your family, then there probably is some sort of motivation to die at the office.

More reasonable than a physical attack is some sort of fabricated smear campaign. It need not even be untruthful - we've all got something embarrassing if you look deep enough, and the NSA can look pretty deep.
