Well, maybe this results in a good suggestion.

What i'm suggesting is that even if the game isn't available on the platform it let us download and install it. When it finishes installing it asks you "How would you like to open this game?"

Then if for example we're using wine, it runs on the Terminal the command to open it. (wine PathToExe)

Yes, there has been a request for wine on just about every communication feed even #74.

I think this is counter-productive and would lead to developers being more lazy about porting their games.

You might add this to the discussion on #74 so that we have it all in one place (#74 already has a reference here so it isn't a big deal). I'm closing this bug as a duplicate.
