My choices are the following:
ftl is worth 2.50. Portal 1 & 2 definitely worth 1.50. Sleeping Dogs definitely worth 3.00.
from this i would guess wine is missing some libraries needed to run the application. Which one I am not sure, either DPAPI.DLL or gdi32full.dll. Wine often is missing libraries or implements its own versions which can have limited functionality. In this case I would probably use winetricks and try to see if they are installed and if not, install via winetricks and try again.
Does this game launch at all just using wine(not lutris just wine)? wine I believe is capable of running .bat files so I suspect if you try to run using just wine you might see some errors explaining whats happening.
I imagine these were the same people complaining about their favorite subreddits being closed. Completely clueless over what was happening right in front of them.
I saw the yakuza collection for the gog.com sale and am curious about the answer too. It has I think 1-6 on there.
I recently played through the original version(non remake) on steam. There was a way to speed up battles / tools to add magic to your characters so you didn't have to spend all day drawing magic. I would be surprised if the remake didn't have any of this. (I used to leave chocobo world running when I wasn't playing)
Like others have posted, I use Lutris. I usually have to supplement it with game posts on the protondb website so I know what fixes might be needed. Often they have some environment variables that might be useful or they list certain items that need to be installed via winetricks(or in steam's case protontricks). Some games just don't run but you can usually get a lot of them to run.
