Okay, well, it's a valid question... Most people do know that you can play those games (as well as RTCW, Unreal, UT, and Doom) in Linux natively. I am surprised that a list like this, especially people who use WineX don't know about that already. I mean, even in the Transgaming forums they talk about the native versions of the Quake games. > no, go load windows and play them and lay off the list. we aren't going to > fix it. no list memebers own game companies. preach to those who can do > something about it. Yeah, well, if I am the only person who emails any companies, how will they ever find out about YOU? How will they know that YOU want native games? THEY WON'T. > > Okay.

Companies are even replying to emails saying "I recommend you try running the game/application in Wine/WineX" which means that obviously they aren't going to bother porting it. Don't ask for references, as I read about this on a forum. I think it was the Mandrake User Board, a long while ago, but I don't recall. > > If you don't read the posts, then don't start insulting people saying > > they don't know what they are talking about when they have stated it > > fully previously.

I wasn't saying that you didn't. It was Lyvim Xaphir who started saying stupid things like "Where are you seeing 5 out of 70 when you haven't even run WineX for your own self?" I wasn't directing that at you personally, it was a statement. Period. You obviously didn't notice that "blanked out for you, buddy" part in my statement, in which I wouldn't have called you "buddy" if you were the one who said something as dumb as "If you come on here blowing off at the mouth about something, you darn sure better have your ducks in a row, cause here we cite our sources." > don't bother editing your comments, i can edit them. i have added you to > my "sort to trash list."
