Greetings
I have been playing through the Transgaming Wine wrapper since 2008, sure there have been up's and down's but I would not have it any other way. Not sure as to the motivation for the Post wether anti-Mac, anti-transgaming, or anti-CCP, I sure support the efforts of transgaming to continue the work! Kudos all around.
CCP please disregard an obvious attempt to discredit the efforts of a partner by a blatant Awoxer. Don't hate your computer...clear your cash...shove in more memory and press on!

Fabio Bittar wrote:Hi, this is the OP. I am here to clarify a few points as people have been making all kinds of absurd assumptions:
1) I own a Macbook Pro 2011, an iPad, iPhone and an iMac 2010. So no, I am not a Mac hater.
2) I used to own a Dell laptop with M$ Windows - I also have had plenty of experience with Windows in the past, and I have owned several PCs running Windows (from Win95 to 7) in my life. So I am not a Windows hater, either. I just happen to prefer Mac OS X (which is "Darwin", a derivate product of FreeBSD.. but whatever.. what matters is that I personally think OS X - and Cocoa - is a billion years ahead of Windows).
3) What I am questioning here is the practice of implying a product is made for a certain operating system when it is quite obviously the opposite. This is just wrong. There's no getting away from this fact. It is a fact.
4) Read number 3 four more times before writing your next reply. Not being pedantic, just kind of frustrated with what (some) people said in here (meaning they probably never read my post).
5) I am unhappy with the questionable business practice of implying a product is a native (made for) Mac software without so much as telling you that not only it's a Windows program, but the Wine Wrapper is also not theirs - they hire a 3rd party to do it.
6) If you buy a game that requires an internet connection, or a game that requires a 3rd party service like, say, Steam, you are warned in advance. This is not the case here.
Anyway, I've been messing with it (the game and the wrapper) and got around most issues. It's not as smooth as it could be, for (again) the obvious reason of this being Windows software, but it works.
Greetings
I retract my earlier statement. You are correct, but as another poster has stated, they do not claim its Native. This is the world we live in when it comes to Mac Gaming. I do not claim to know exactly how it all works, but I believe that the performance issue arrises when Direct X code is translated to OpenGL through the graphics card or something to the affect.
The campaign I would support is to have APPLE work on coding that allows our graphics cards to work directly with instructions coming from the game. Not sure its even possible.
