  • It’s not that Wine runs things as an administrator

    yes, it is that

    Wine emulates the Windows virtual filesystem by creating and using a directory in your home (by default), which means you own the entire thing;

    I was always installing fitgirl games to my other drive, where I owned the entire thing. I know because I remember I set the ownership.

    However, the existing Program Files folder in your OS drive (C: by default, idk if you can change its volume letter) is owned by… I have no idea, actually, but it’s a system account, not yours.

    The last paragraph may be inaccurate, I was much less

    I have never installed fitgirl games there.

















  • Your online games are going to continue working? All of them?

    Definitely not “every game I bought” are online, let alone online only. I think I don’t even have an online only game.

    You’ll be able to go to a publisher and say “I bought your game, can i download a copy”?

    that’s not what I said. I said continue to play, so that itvwas already downloaded. you can also just copy lots of games from someone else (with their permission) if you don’t have it downloaded.

    I’ve even been logged out of steam after not playing for a year and that required an internet connection.

    did you have offline mode enabled? if yes, then the logout is a bug. but even then with goldberg emu, a single drop-in file, you could continue playing most downloaded games by running them from the file browser.
