I totally agree with this and I'd like to suggest another thing: as this
Nvidia/not Nvidia card thing is related to a whole lot of other apps than this
game alone, maybe it's about time to modify the submission forms in the appdb,
forcing the submitter to specify his/hers graphics card manufacturer, model
and, possibly, drivers. Given that, maybe producing an average rating of the
app functionality within wine based on the card manufacturer would make thing
much clearer.
