What concrete problems do you see with winetricks having verbs for popular games?
Does it cover Steam'ed versions? Different languages?
I'm curious why you ask - would covering (or not covering) Steam or different languages lead to poor quality bug reports? I guess you're afraid of people complaining about the tool and not about Wine?
How about conflicts between setups for different games under one wineprefix? Or conflicts with existing installed software under the same wineprefix?
The only scenario that would be fine with me, if winetricks will allow new prefix only for complete software installs. And refuse to install into existing one.
The author of PlayOnLinux agrees with you; that's how that tool works.
I do have code for that, but I haven't turned it on yet, since it raises some UI issues. I could make it the default for app installs once I iron those out. - Dan
