You obviously have little experience with WineX. You're just whining because a company is making money, and making yourself appear very ignorant to those who have used both Wine and WineX.
Do you really feel that it add weight to your former "arguments" by bashing me?
I play games on linux since 3dfx started supporting it, I used both wine and winex (from the first version, you probably doenst know that transgaming is already around for some time and havent made much progress since then --> probably because of their focus on the mac platform) to play my games and I never had any good experiences running my direct3d games on wine (and somewhat worse experience than wine running opengl games), maybe its because their cvs lacks a lot, but when browsing their forum-like setup it seems that the binary version isnt that much better (besides copyprotection)
There are countless games that run better on WineX than Wine. Oh, god no, those capitalist pig at Transgaming aren't really doing anything at all!!! They are just brainwashing we, the foolish sheep, and making us think that games run far better than vanilla Wine. If only we were as Enlightened as you Sir.
I dont mind companies taking code with a license that permits suchs and using it to created a product with added value, but not if that added value is as meager as with transgaming: just add copyprotection support, some flaky d3d support and attract customers with claims about games that, for 95%, run betetr with the original project you took the code from
Over the years I've tried to run a lot of games with winex (when wine failed) and really only a few worked and a small part of the working games actually ran fine
But hey, as I said before, its you decision to spend your money with transgaming to run your favorite direct3d game and believing their PR
In "old" Europe we already have a word for "pre-emptive strikes" mr Bush: its called "war"
