Could you build this?

No Enabling modern Windows DirectX AAA games to run on Apple Silicon requires specialized low-level translation layers, graphics API translation, and handling game anti-cheat systems.

What it would actually take: Building a custom compatibility wrapper requires deep systems programming expertise with Wine, Apple's Game Porting Toolkit / D3DMetal, Rosetta 2 x86-to-ARM translation, and implementing workarounds or compatibility shims for Blizzard's proprietary runtime checks.
