Yeah for tech savvy people it wasn't a big deal. Download Windows game on the interwebs, check winehq and then game.

But it wasn't always plug and play. Also I always was flexible on what games I wanted to play.

Even then, it often crashed or glitched. I mean it was amazing for me at the time anyway, running Windows games on Linux. But nowadays it's on a different level.
