Not really, considering that the Linux version of Kohan is dead in the water…

But I guess that sucks a little for places like Tux Games that still sell it…

Seems more like Loki’s (may they RIP) fault to me.

Read the top three entries… I think he’s right in saying that basically TransGaming is full of shit, and we should be helping the Linux gaming community.

In a nutshell, WineX ‘bullied’ Debian into not packaging WineX.

“The world changes (and the tech world changes at an incredible rate), and those that don’t adapt to work with an obviously superior way of doing things (provide the API & Runtime compatibility like Wine(X) does instead of porting everyone’s source over) are going to go out of business. You can hardly blame Transgaming for that, but rather the other companies that refuse to adapt.”

Transgaming people think that WineX is superior to usual porting. What does everybody else prefer?

That’s an interesting little statement – is Kohan for Linux (native port) now free for the taking? Because it certainly sounds that way.
