I'm kind of curious where you got the notion that wine couldn't play 3d games? I can only imagine it coming from wine not having good DirectX11 support for a time until DXVK.

Yep, it's from back in the day before Proton, where Dx10 support was spotty at best. I know it probably wasn't as simple as "3D = broken, 2D = fine", but I think generally 3D games tended to use more exotic Dx10 features.
