Hi all,<br>
<br>
In a conversation between myself (MaggotBrain on the forums) and
Jarrex, I expressed some frustration that Blizzard had been banning
Diablo III users who used Wine. He posted some of the excerpts I
sent him from WineHQ, and it quickly got to 17 pages on Blizzard's
forums.<br>

<br>
Then it made the front page of Reddit with 25k votes!<br>

It's likely a mistake on Blizzard's part. But I thought this might
be interesting to some people here. It's amazing that this
conversation I had while at work led to more widespread awareness of
Wine (one of the top comments on Reddit asks what Wine is).<br>
<br>
And Wine hackers- great work, I've just finished playing 2 hours of
Diablo III and it runs great.<br>
