Even with programs like WINE, most Windows games just don't work on LINUX. Why is this? Is it the windows API?

Linux is shit. That's why.

If QT is the equivalent of the win 32 graphical API, can you just port everything to QT and have it work?

I'm rather inclined to think your just stupid, instead.

>Why is this?
Because games aren't written to work under windows.

Obviously you are too stupid to make good money. That's probably why you have shit hardware that can't run a real operating system.

With latest versions of Wine, you can effortlessly (with no issues whatsoever) and easily play with full FPS/graphics roughly 92% of PC's entire gaming backlog since the DOS days and up to DirectX 11. That's, like, 16000+ some gaming titles released throughout several decades from all around the world. And even more than so - Wine allows to circumvent/bypass such "limitations" of actual Windows as, for example "some Japanese games, like Illusion's works and etc., require of you to have strictly Japanese Windows, or you can't install/play them". In other words, no more need in retarded "wrappers", "cracks/hacks", or other shit like that. What, not enough for you yet? Wine is officially a part of ReactOS, and that should tell you a lot since ROS was recently shown to be able to play modern and old games alike very well ALREADY, even considering it's still in a pretty raw/unfinished/unpolished state.

Games are not open source
They are created in order to make profit and not for the improvement of people and developers so they are ideologically incompatible with Linux

The same reason why every new version of Microsoft Office saves in a format infinitely more obscure and retarded than the last: Microsoft works very hard to lock you into their software and that means destroying any chance of cross compatibility at every opportunity.
