    I was just about to ask the same thing. Did Valve intentionally break Steam under Cedega? If so, why?? Wouldn't they like to have MORE users? Not shut them out by forcing them to buy/pirate Windows?

    Its more likely that the Valve update included a binary update that conflicted with Cedega/Wines Win32 implementation, which is more likely than a conspiracy about deliberate breakages. Remember here folks, Cedega/Wine is a reimplementation without all the documentation, I wouldnt be surprised if this happens a lot but doesnt get reported on slashdot because theres no obvious target.
