Not even that. Look at Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. It's only working through a 3rd party program: Oldblivion.
Cedega is definitely providing good service, and it definitely is worth the money if you want to continue playing games when you've moved to an all linux computer setup, but yes, native clients require support, and with the toolchains still differing in quality (which is why some people have problems), it may be a while when the industry finally sees linux as a gaming platform. In my opinion they should all just take a leap of faith, release the clients (even for WoW, War3, and Half Life 2), and see how many people actually move to linux. They don't even have to provide support, just release them. List the toolsets used, and let the community go to work.
Sony released a linux distribution for PS2, even the compiler name was gcc-EE-binutils, so it has happened. Xboxes can also be hacked to run linux, but then it's just like a regular distribution.
