Transgaming Announces Cedega Free Trial

Posted by Zonk on from the mmmmmm-free-wine dept.

ProudClod writes "Transgaming has just announced a time limited demo of their Cedega product (formerly known as WineX), which allows Windows games (including those that utilize DirectX) to be played on Linux. The demo will run for two weeks until 15th November, and will allow gamers to test out the full version of Cedega for that period. The official press release is also available."

  1. But it's Open Source... by Anusien · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So two things occur to me after RTFAing. First, their time-limited demo isn't that great because you can still build from the CVS sources. Sure it's a pain in the ass, but you can do it, especially if your computer is fast enough to be running the games anyway. As an aside, I'm wondering why they're saying to game publishers: "The Cedega Time Limited Demo gives you the opportunity to test your titles for free.". Shouldn't they be offering it to game devs for free anyway for better advertising? (IE: ID Games tested it and it works out of the box with Cedega).
