I loved mechwarrior, but it is pretty slowpaced for me.

DII is still cool, unfortunatly it's getting outdated.

Outdated like D&D

True, sid, true. Alas, it was very good for its time, though it's more or less pointless now. WoW, I can't personally stand, but it is way better, in alot of ways.

They all get boring real fast. The only game that has stood the test of time for me is Unreal Tournament. This is good considering it runs on Linux natively and I can dump Cedega, Windows and WoW eventually, thus removing all monthly fees and software tyranny from my life. :-D

It's only $5 a month and you are keeping Linux developers in their jobs while creating a valid alternative to Windows for gaming. People who steal it should be disowned and banned from the open source community as they are complete leeches, deadbeats, and losers. Contribute to the community or get lost.

I hate free loaders who abuse the open source community. You never bite the hand that feeds you. Linux is virtually free as is every other peice of software and it's a lousy $5 a month to support the developers at Cedega. People who rip off these developers should be put in front of a firing squad. It seriously is the worst thing you can do. :evil:

I completely agree with this. I'm a poor college student, and even I can afford that. If the leechers undermine Cedega and make it go under, then none of us (meaning the Linux users), will have anything. TAKE YOUR LEECHING BACK TO WINDOWS!! IT IS NOT WELCOME HERE!!! :evil:

Nah, I'm pretty sure the Cedega developers are the leechers, THEY are the ones stealing from the open source community, every time you pay them 5 f***ing dollars. I can't believe you pay for that crap, my opinion of you has gone from -infinity to -infinity * 2

Here is quotes from wikipedia to explain my reasoning:

Quote: Controversy

While Cedega is popular among many GNU/Linux users, there is a sizeable portion of the community that refuses to use the program. There are three main reasons for this.
[edit]

"Free riding" on the free software community

Many in the community object to Transgaming's business practices by "making a quick buck" off the back of the Wine project, without contributing back. Transgaming obtained the source to the original Wine project when it was under a BSD-style license (non copyleft) and this license placed no requirements on how TransGaming published their software. TransGaming, unlike other companies with similar models, decided to release their software as proprietary software. Transgaming does release portions of the source code via CVS, however it attaches legal restrictions which mean that it is not free software. TransGaming have included CD copy protection software which they say they are under contract with SecuROM and SafeDisc not to disclose.

In reaction, the Wine project changed its license to the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). This means that anyone who publishes a modified version of Wine, must publish the source code under an LGPL-compatible (and therefore free software) license. TransGaming stopped using code contributed to Wine when the license was changed.
[edit]

Reaction to inclusion in Distros

When some GNU/Linux distributions, notably Debian GNU/Linux and Gentoo, decided to package TransGaming's software, TransGaming threatened to make the license even more restrictive to prohibit this.

Quote from the Cedega license:

"Note that while this license does permit certain kinds of non-commercial distribution of pre-compiled binary packages of Cedega, doing so on a large scale is discouraged, as it affects TransGaming's ability to continue to improve and develop the code. TransGaming reserves the right to change the license under which TransGaming-owned copyright code is made available, and will not hesitate to do so if non-commercial distribution of pre-compiled binary packages adversely affects the financing of continued development."

[edit]

General criticism of the existence of emulators

Many GNU/Linux users feel that in encouraging development of Cedega, they are discouraging the development of native ports of games or even Linux-exclusive titles.
