In fact, I own serveral Loki published games (Quake 3, SimCity 3000 Unlimited, Kohan). WineX however has in my mind pulled a microsoft with their product. They took a X11 (similar to BSD liscense) liscensed product and made it into a commerical app that they charge money for (at least for the binaries that actually allow you to play copy protected games, which is all of them). This caused quite an uproar, and was enough to create a fork of the WINE tree that is LGPL liscensed. Basically, I believe that they're getting a free ride if you will from the OSS community by having much of their initial work done for them, then selling a product based on it. --MonMotha

I saw it with my own eyes, it definately works (and this was on wine like a year ago), though no where near as fast as Windoze (like 22FPS instead of probably 80 in doze). There were some sound issues too, but remember this was an old snapshot (wasn't too long after they got Starcraft working actually). --MonMotha
