Transgaming releases "WineX" 4.0 "Cedega"

visy writes "Transgaming has opened a new site at today and are announcing WineX 4.0, now dubbed Cedega after a unique variety of grape. Transgaming claims Cedega allows "Windows ® games to seamlessly and transparently run under Linux, out-of-the-box, with outstanding performance and equivalent game-play". Will we see a new era of game compatibilty?"

WINE

I got here with only 4 postings and transgaming was already /.ed... good work team!

Saw it yesterday

I was curious as to what was going on at Transgaming - they had a large banner on their site yesterday with today's date on it and "Where will you be?". Had a funny feeling something was brewing. :)

Ironic, really, since WineX makes Ports less likely...

[CdBee]

So we're porting to wine instead of whining for ports?

Re:New era

No, but it COULD be considered a circumvention device.

"We made this game to play on Windows and X-boxen... now these Linux geeks have, totally without anyone's permission, made them play on everything including E-Z-Bake ovens! Which, in addition to being totally contrary to our intent, is in breach of the law!"

And so, as the grandparent says, a new era of lawsuits must ensue.

I like being deceived, especially by a company that makes producs that I have absolutely no use for (like someone who makes software that'll make my computer do things that are *way* cheaper and faster on a console game system).

This guy said absolutely nothing new, interesting or insightful. He might as well have copied his post from 16,000,000 other posts just like it.

Well, we have "redundant", but we need something which is "The opposite of insightful"

I might suggest (-1 Banal)

That isn't evil, any more than its evil for a polar bear to eat a penguin. But the penguins don't like it.

Don't say penguins preciousss. It hurts us, yes it doesss. Say...shark eats fish--yessss, nice fisssshhhh.

please don't use the concepts of "far far back" and "90's" together... it makes me feel old. :)

Not evil, but definitely unlikely.

Polar Bears - Arctic. Penguins - Antarctic!

lol. Technically, because they own the trademark doesn't mean I can't use the name. I'm just not allowed to market something that could be confused (by a layman) for the trademark. Though they can lose that trademark if the word becomes common language (like Xerox or Kleenex), that's why they always say Microsoft Windows.

On that note, I plan to open a junkyard called Windows.
