yeah, it's non-news since it was never a port, and it's anti-news because CCP are offering some level of support for Wine as a platform: http://wiki.winehq.org/AppsThatSupportWine

It does make it harder for them to figure out Linux numbers, right?

Transgaming isn't the greatest of companies, their customer support is terrible, their product is advertised in a misleading manner, and frankly I'm surprised no one has filed more complaints with the BBB about them.

It's not supposed to be a great solution. After all it's emulation and whoever has at least a bit of experience with console emulation knows how much of a problem that is. And emulating all bugs in Windows is not much easier . So if you use that product in any way it's your problem not theirs. And emulation is anyways not the solution to the problem after all.

None of these can be blamed on the customer nor can they be blamed on the difficulty of translating windows system calls to linux calls. All of these are the sole fault of Transgaming and their lack of linux support. They are a terrible company.
