The AUR package play.it^AUR intends to provide a software that generate a game.tar.gz package from a Windows game.exe file. The game.tar.gz package can then be installed with pacman, the goal being to avoid the creation an AUR package for each game. The list of games can be found on wiki.dotslashplay.it. These need to be downloaded from a provider and therefore, purchased (play.it is not retributed).
