Oh, we're interested in games, it's just a matter of resources. There
are very few people working on games support in WineHQ Wine, most of the
motivation was taken away by TransGaming. Why work on the free version
when you can just subscribe over there?

The people who get paid to work on regular Wine are paid to work on
apps. The people who aren't tend to be working on Wine because they want
a particular app to work :) I poke games occasionally but don't play
them very much, so it's not surprising people like me focus on games.

For what it's worth Wine doesn't currently work on FreeBSD 4.10+
-STABLE/-CURRENT anyway. Right now it's basically Linux only, as far as
I know :(

thanks -mike
