I'm wondering, is it possible to play games (from Steam / GOG et al) on ReactOS?

    Video shows a 12 year old game running very poorly. So, in summary: No

      Not 12 years old. Game engine was updated several times.

      But it's running inside a VM, so if you install it natively, it should be a lot smoother.

        The things is, can it run natively on a decent array of hardware? Unless it can reliably use Windows drivers I expect the hardware support to not be that great. After all, Linux & FreeBSD, which are much older and a lot more popular, still have problems sometime with hardware support.

          You'll notice (from reading the youtube description) it's using the VirtualBox Direct3D driver (which was written with windows as a target, not reactos). Support for windows driver is one of the goals of the OS IIRC.
