--- Comment #4 from David <dav75uk at yahoo.co.uk> ---
Given the capitals used in that last reply which came across unfriendly I think
this is justified.

Woah woah, hold on a minute there. I realise you're a volunteer, but I'm a
member of the public, unconnected with wine aside being a user of it, and I'd
like to see wine work better and obviously I get more utility of it working
better as the software I run with it will also work better. Thus I inform the
project of problems I find in the hope that it at least indicates there is a
problem and given this now broken game was free software until not long ago and
there is no legal problem owning this game if you can find (likely) a free
download still, it is possible for others to test and probably others maybe
will have seen this issue or something similar with the software they run.

I have a very busy life and real clients of my own which pay money and they
expect results, so my time gets focused there and the time I have left is
focused on my own relaxation,  my family and hobbies. If I get the time to do
some regression testing (which to be fair is not a five minute job or an hour
job even), and I'm probably only therefore likely to get time to track it to a
version rather than a commit I will do so and upload the logs at that point. If
this is no good for you, then I just won't bother. If wine developers can't
write proper comprehensive tests so they don't break stuff every other version
that is not my problem.

I suggest a rethink and be grateful for any support you do get from your users
even if it's perhaps not as full and comprehensive as you'd like it to be.
Thank you for free software, but you shouldn't be expecting users to do
investigation work and should be happy at least for a bug report which might
cross reference with something. If you want my time right away rather than when
I can donate some, I will send my day rate across.
