They're doing it by providing a large patch to Crossover, so it'll be curious to see what happens when Codeweavers releases the next version of Crossover which also has DX12 support.

With Codeweavers recent switch to employee-owned, I wonder if Apple will acquire them anytime soon?

    would....... that mean eventually that code would be incorporated into wine?

    edit:

    secondly, if apple were to acquire codeweavers, would that mean they get de facto control over wine? because codeweavers make the bulk of updates to wine.

    that should make the linux community and especially valve very anxious

      It could, yeah. I don't see any reason why not except that it may have a conflict with the work by Codeweavers.

      If Apple didn't acquire them and Valve did, would that change things?

        Valve is currently bankrolling codeweavers heavily. Valves could just as easily spend the money on in-house devs and fork wine.
