It seems that a game studio found that Wine worked so well that they
have given up their efforts to maintain a native client. While
encouraging that Wine works so well, there is a very interesting
debate which could be had as to whether or not this kind of affect is
desirable.

Their "native Linux client" was the Windows client on top of Cedega. They're

Hi,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately they don't seem to recommend Wine, neither they announce
Wine as a supported platform. They just drop Linux support because of
"the lack of interest for the Linux client" that no one was using
because the game worked far much better with Wine :)<br>
<br>
A great thing would be that they officially support Wine.<br>
<br>
Also, if the Mac Wine would have worked better (I know it's Apple
crappy X11 fault and native Mac's API drivers cocoa language's fault...
but users don't care), it's very likely that they dropped their mac
"native" client.<br>
