[Wine] Petition for PunkBuster Support/Version for WINE in Linux

[Devine]

Greetings,
I started this petition the other day.
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/PunkBusterforWINE


As legitimate owner of a game, regardless of platform (providing that it will actually run) - one should be entitled to the online experience attached to the game.

Sadly, for many Windows(tm) games under WINE this cannot be done because of the PunkBuster Anti-Cheat protection which does not allow those using a WINE based API to access a PunkBuster protected server.

There is PunkBuster support for Linux game servers, so there is already in-house knowledge of Linux at Even Balance. CodeWeavers and Transgaming are distributors of commercial branches of WINE who would work with Even Balance to support their largest demographic. (the gamers!)

Anything that is which allows WINE users to access PunkBuster protected servers will be appreciated. (full implementation or not!)

This petition is to show community and market support to the parties who will be involved in providing PunkBuster support for community and commercial WINE based products.

Also, for those who want to criticize the way I have approached this, I don't care (unless you really do have a better idea which I might take on board).
