If it ran on Linux, I'd do that because I could play from my work desktop when the kids are using other systems. But alas, it does not.

@scottalanmiller It's on Steam.
I was of the opinion that you could run Windows steam games using WINE.
Is that not the case? -

Is that not the case?A lot of the games run, some don't. They've done a really good job about getting it to work.

Is that not the case?WINE is WINE, that it comes from Steam doesn't change it. If Steam has gotten an individual game to work on Linux using some sort of toolset, they announce that on the game page. They have some big ones working, but I've not seen any done using WINE, it's all using Steam's own platform, which does in turn use WINE, but it's not WINE doing the heavy lifting.

But have you tried Steam's Platform on Linux to make it work yet?

Steam doesn't list it as working. So their platform isn't integrated with it.

Most of the Windows only games are listed to Not work with Steam, but if you enable the beta features a lot of them do. I'll test from my linux laptop and report back.

It launches and such. I haven't played it on that laptop because it will overheat it, lol. It launches in full screen and all by default. I just put it in Windowed mod so you could see it, lol. The system is Ubuntu 19.10 and I let it install the NVIDIA drivers and all automagically.

@dafyre did you just install using Steam? DId you do anything manually?

This was a fresh install of Steam for me, so I did have to enable the Steam Play for all other titles.
But no CLI stuff or anything like that. Just install & go.

You need to enable the Steam Play beta features. It will attempt to run most games that are in the Steam library.

Exactly. I let it play the intro video before I had to kill it, lol. That particular laptop has issues with the GPU (the fan quit, lol). I'm about 99% ready to make the dive back to Linux on my daily driver again.

I still can't. Enough games I play can't be played through Steam Play yet.

With all these free Windows games, makes me consider getting a Windows computer.

My kids LOVE Roblox. Even with 3,000 other games, a VR system, etc. they play it constantly. They play online with their cousins. Jared's kids play it too. It is so simple, but it might be worth getting a Windows system just for that, honestly.
