The question is rather, do they really make any money out of it after the whole bottles, proton, Lutris took over the recent years. I still could remember when i just started with Linux back in 2008 and wanted to run some Windows games/applications and stumbeling on CrossOver.

They make money the same way Red Hat makes money with RHEL, by providing paid support.

I thought back then that CrossOver was paid software. I still can remember when they were giving discount.

It's still paid software. You get a 2 week trial. The big money makers are Mac and ChromeOS support, particularly for the ARM-x64 translation.

Neat. Useful for getting the annoying MS Office suite running, will have to test if there's any major regression or bug/performance fixes for that.

For a commercial product that started out as a "run MS Office on Linux" as its main selling point it really doesn't do that anymore. I try a trial about every other release. I download the O365 Office installer and it doesn't work. Just crashes. Read some of the docs / hints, try those options...still doesn't work.

note: this is more for trying it for trying it sake. LibreOffice does me just fine 90% of the time and O365 Web Edition covers the rest well enough.
