PSA, FitGirl and Dodi setups do fail during installations on Proton and Lutris Wine, but if you were to run them using vanilla Wine they (generally) work perfectly. Just open a terminal in the downloaded folder and enter wine ./setup.exe. Just make sure you set the correct installation folder (e.g. Z:/home/username/games)
Update: the latest FitGirl setup for Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t work on either
Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....
Windows and Office were successful in enterprises precisely because they were popular and the familiar choice among staff. They got popular from piracy.
In most countries other than those in Western Europe, North America, Japan and China, computers arrived roughly a decade late. In fact PCs never ended up being used in the mainstream till the late 90’s/early '00s in India, a lot of options had matured by then.
How do those companies audit businesses that they don’t know are using their software? Do they have a special force built just to track creative releases from indie makers?
The past 20 years is what’s relevant for all countries apart from Japan, China and those in North America and Eastern Europe when it comes to PCs.
I don’t think any cost above ₹200 (~ $2.5) would have been justifiable for an OS in third world countries in the '00s, and the “dirt cheap CD keys” were certainly more expensive than that anywhere.
