The appdb says "Only applications which install and run flawlessly on an out-of-the-box Wine installation make it to the Platinum list" But several platinum-rated apps seem to deserve a silver or bronze rating.
For instance, Call to Duty, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3603 has all sorts of caveats: - Punkbuster enabled Multiplayer will not work - Sound out of sync. - Runs without crashes, but only if installed as root - requires whacky third-party Loki installer; real installer fails on cd change (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6594) - "with alsa, the sound lags ~ 1 second behind the game.... if i choose oss i got the 166 sound files missing error"
And Diablo II, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=49, also has lots of complaints / caveats / complicated howto's.
Should we impose some standards on appdb ratings? - Dan
