It will be done sooner or later (later, i bet).

This was already in the plans, I would tag it "work in progress"

You don't need to post this as an "idea", it will be done without a doubt...it's just a matter of time.

This is likely in the works now but obviously isn't very easy for Wine to do... remember, Wine is taking on a pretty big project: simulate exactly the way Windows works, from scratch - not a walk in the park. Wine isn't even version 1.0 yet, remember.

I think it won't make. A gamer will pay for Windows just to have pleasure.

DX sucks. Wait for OpenGL 3

Yeah, I wish DirectX would just die, and everyone would use OpenGL instead.

I have a better, related, idea. Full DirectX 9.0c support for Wine.

The Ubuntu developing team has nothing to do with Wine, that is the Wine team http://winehq.org/

Wine should definitely support all the Windows API too. DirectX, Win32, .NET, COM, RPC, SEH, VEH, DCOM, OS/2, Driver foundation, Win16, DOS, and everything else.

Are you willing to wait until 2015?
