I kinda agree with what you wrote. Transgaming in a way is bad for Linux. If Cedega can play Battlefield 2 80% like Windows, why should EA take the time to make it native? Why should the game developer make a game native to Linux if a community or company like Wine/Cedega can make it run on Linux?
But in a way its good. It shows these game developers that there IS a market for gaming on Linux and there IS people willing to dish out $50 on their game even if they have to play it half a$$ with a program like Wine/Cedega. And never forget the most important part on why it is good, we Linux users can finall play our games like Warcraft 3 and CS:S. On high end system they run pretty dang well on highest settings. I am able to run Battlefield 2 with every thing on high except no AA on.
All we can do is thank ID and Epic for making their game native to us. After Linux grows more (more Linux users over Mac users now) we will get more companies to join us.
