Apple in the 21st century are exactly like Microsoft in the 20th: they view open source and public protocols as an active threat to their business model and will go miles out of their way to ignore any FOSS project even if it could be hugely beneficial to them.

They are so off the mark its crazy, the future of this is streaming games services. Yea it'll be running on windows or linux at the other end and that isn't what Apple wants but its the future.

Curious to see whether this actually helps Mac Gaming or not. I'm pretty happy with the way Wine helps gaming on Linux, I use Pop OS all the time now as a result of being able to play all the games I want on it.

It uses codeweaver's source code. Codeweaver's blog post about it

How much does Codeweaver contribute back to the FOSS projects?

They are the primary corporate sponsor for Wine and employ many of the developers. so... a lot.
