I’m not a fan of alternative packaging solutions. Never been. If it’s not in Debian’s repositories then I don’t bother with it. Some would say that’s close minded as not all packaging solutions are bad but when you use a stable distribution like Debian the native packaging solution is a lot easier to maneuver and troubleshoot than flatpaks and the like.
Video game companies don’t want you to enjoy games you already paid for. They want you to buy the rereremaster for full price again & again every time you want to launch it which is why this will, unfortunately, never happen.
Sadly we’ll continue with the current route, bruteforcing through the emulation once the hardware gets good enough to do it.
