What if someone could create a fake gameguard to trick the game executable?

That is out of the scope of the Wine project.

Moreover that's called a copy protection circumvention and is illegal.

Depending on your jurisdiction. US, sure. Europe, etc., not so much.

And of course, countries not signatory to the Berne convention/some other
copyright agreement treaty can legally infringe copyrights from other
countries.

Copyrights are a mess...

Just fwiw, GameGuard is "anti-cheating", not copy protection. Not that it
changes much for the discussion, Wine certainly doesn't want to include that
kind of circumvention code.

I know this is really out of Wine's scope.
But I mean if such a project existed, totally apart from wine, it would benefit
wine users.
