I think Cedega is an emulator that is a commerical fork of Wine.I just posted about games on Linux on my blog. I said:"The idea of a free and open OS is nice and fine, but game developers don’t release games for it and Linux supporters claim it’s because of people like me who continue to play Windows games and not ask developers to release Linux versions. The only way game developers would make games Linux compatible is if thousands of people asked them to. And that will happens only if millions of people start using Linux. This means that Linux must be able to run all games to attract gamers to move. It’s a vicious cycle. Gamers are not going to switch to Linux, ever. So stop blaming us poor gamers. The only way to break this cycle is if so many people start using Linux that game developers are forced to release Linux compatible games simply because of the large marketshare."What do you think?
