Agreed.
appdb ratings are from the point of view of someone who simply uses their linux distro to install wine, and then tries to install a game. If no fiddling is required, and the game works perfectly, it's platinum even if under the hood the game has snuck in a native (and Microsoft-copyrighted) DLL. (DLLs not copyrighted by Microsoft are not generally a concern.)
In parallel, people who care about making Wine run without any native DLLs should make sure there's a "purist" bug in wine's bugzilla describing what breaks if you force wine to use its own builtin DLL for the game. (And should then try to fix that bug. :-) - Dan

Agreed.
OK then, it would simplify my work significantly - now it wouldn't be required to proceed with "teaching reported about what is under the hood" problem and would allow to set "Platinum" rating for apps like Steam version of Rage :-).
P.S. Hope, other devs haven't got any objections about this?
