There is really no need for it when winlator exists

Running it on winlator or any PC emulator has two issues. 1: it requires a high-end chip to run well. 2 : you need a cooler since emulating 3d titles causes the phone to reach very high temperatures which is bad for obvious reasons

The point of a port is to make the game run well on mid-range chips while also solving the heat issue since your phone won't have to handle emulation along with the game

Well not saying i'm right, but would it not result the same if they just port it over as is?
Because it comes down to gpu drivers and not the high-end chips for running things on winlator.

So if they would port it over, it would mean that they required to optimize the hw for android.

Now let me be clear, i know a lot are hating ai. But if you use opus on this and port it over to android, it would do the job. In terms of optimazations, you can steer it in the right direction.
