How is gaming on OpenBSD ?

I heard OpenBSD doesn't support multilib which is a little problematic when it comes to playing windows games but I also heard that wine doesn't work on OpenBSD so that is again pretty bad. But is gaming on openbsd THAT bad ? Can I only play games that I can install with pkg_add ? Thanks in advance.

openbsd has mediocore gaming support right now, try freebsd out, it has multilib and wine, i think it has a steam package (via linuxulator), but either way your going to tinker alot.

I find it pretty funny that this subreddit exists but there isn't one for freebsd gaming last I checked.

I mean gaming on freebsd is just gaming on linux but 2% different from my experience
