Beolach writes "Transgaming today released WineX 3.2, their subscription-download tool which 'brings the hottest Windows titles to devoted Linux gamers', now including support for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and Homeworld 2, among others. The release announcement also quotes Markus Maki, Development Director of Remedy Entertainment as saying: "TransGaming's unique ability to enable Max Payne 2 to run on Linux without any access to the source code is quite impressive. We're extremely pleased that TransGaming is broadening our reach to new audiences and that the Linux community continues to enjoy our products thanks to TransGaming's outstanding work." In other words, this is all Linux gets for Max Payne 2."

I really thought this was a great idea when they first came out... then started relising it really sucked(pay a fee to get your games running at the worst possible level? i think not!). Then I had one of them there light bulby ideas. I'm a geek, why don't I just make a small windows partition to play my windows games? Then if I could do that, why don't I just buy another hard drive, just for windows? Christ, I must be a genius.
