On Cedega 4.0 And Windows Gaming

Posted by simoniker on from the glass-half-empty dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a new ExtremeTech article discussing the state of WineX/Cedega on Linux as it relates to Windows gaming. The article suggest: 'As an operating system, Linux has many things to recommend it over Windows. Gaming, alas, is not one of them... We tried Cedega out on three different distributions (and with a bunch of games). The results were decidedly mixed.'"

  1. Doesn't play deer hunting games; who cares? by Jesterboy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I appreciate that they are trying to take into account the "Wal-Mart" class of games by including various hunting titles, but for real PC gamers, who would care whether these run or not? In fact, I almost consider it a bonus that these games don't run...

    To be honest, I wish they would've done a little more testing of older and newer titles, across all platforms. It doesn't mean a whole lot if you're testing different stuff on different hardware/OS configurations. Actually, I wish they'd just tested more games, old or new. Pardon me, but I don't think ~4 demos is a comprehensive nor accurate test of how well Cedega performs.
