I was about to gloat, as it's so cheap to buy, I thought it was a good opportunity to test Steam proton by selecting "enforce compatibility" which so far has worked for everything I threw at it (CIV V, hitman absolution, bunch of other obscure windows only titles).

Initially happy as the install and intro ran fine, but pressing enter to skip the video exits the game immediately.

Maybe that's further than you would expect, wine / proton is incredibly good nowadays, but still your point stands.
