Consider that they might be pretty lucky to have found a hardware/software combination that works.

I for one had a very stable experience of running Katawa Shoujo Act 1 v1 on ReactOS v3.10 on my ECS K7S5A Pro (and even made a YouTube video of it). I didn't try installing any drivers, but the software did indeed work. I would also imagine the stable software I discovered later with ReactOS in VirtualBox would also work as well (iDeaS and Ever 17).

I may be a rare case, but it still shows that it's not as unheard of as you may think.

I dont use reactos all day, but I have it installed and running on an old compaq I had sitting around. I love testing old games on it as I dig them up.

I play Civilisation 2 on ROS in vbox for hours:>

But was this originally for testing purposes, or what there a good reason for playing it in ROS rather than Windows?

Stability testing, lulz, and bragging rights.

Btw, Heroes 3 also work.

I like lulz. It's the same reason I played iDeaS on ReactOS inside VirtualBox. (I made a video of it too, but if I keep linking my iDeaS, Katawa Shoujo, and Ever 17 videos every time I mention them, it's going to seem like I'm spamming)

at one point in the past, I had startrek voyager elite force running on reactos.
I'm having issues getting duke nukem manhattan project installed, and im planning to test command and conquer tiberian sun soon enough (the game was released free just recently, and includes the expantion: http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic/ )
