Transgaming Bringing Windows Games to Linux (?)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to point us to transgaming which is trying to get the DirectX APIs on Linux, and make it possible to run DirectX games on our OS. What is perhaps more interest is their perspective on how to get paid for their work. Not sure how I feel about this whole thing.

    They keep getting rejected because they rather post something totally NOT interesting, than something interesting. Well, that is, sometimes. You never know how they will pick their stories.

    Why did this get modded down as redundant? The story is redundant, as the poster points out, but the post isn't. In fact, it's one of the first posts on the story. This should be modded up as informative, not down.

    I've been really disappointed in the moderation I've been seeing lately (and I have been meta-moderating). Not only because I've taken some hits on comments that were not that bad, but also on others' comments. If you have mod points, read the guidelines, and think about what you're doing. You make this site better or worse to read. Right now, some of you are making it worse.
