“on Windows” is no longer a worthwhile phrase when it simply means “targeting a Linux/Windows shared compatibility ABI”.

There are more functioning games on Linux than I ever would have thought possible because of this (very difficult and certainly open source) work that’s been done by Wine, Proton, Valve and many many more. But of course, someone has to find a way to discourage all of that because it isn’t pure enough or whatever.
