Theoretically, the virus is made for Windows, so it would have different effects on Wine.
It probably wouldn't do anything dangerous. But still, scan it with VirusTotal.
what's this "probability" based on?
wine exposes the user's home directory as drive Z: and has full read/write access to it. so, the user's proper fucked.
edit: I misspoke, Z: exposes the entire root file system, whereas only the /home/user/ has full r/w access.
Best practice is to create a user just for gaming.
