Fair point, but I'm saying in the general category of "Linux Gaming". Now, if anyone in 2025 tells me they want to play RCT or RCT2 specifically, I'll point them at OpenRCT2 and then at either Exo or another means of quick access. Just like I won't start by suggesting CorsixTH if I'm asked about games as a category, but if somebody wants to play Theme Hospital, I immediately advise the same process.
Ask me a different question, and I'll give you a different answer. I'm not going to tell someone new to Linux who wants to play games that the best games available require pirated versions of generations-old games. I'm sorry, it's simply not the way my mind works.
Makes sense, cheers!
