Free Crossover for one day!

By -
just got this mail from the nice people over at Codeweavers:

QuoteHi Folks,

I am happy to announce that we will be providing a copy of CrossOver for free to all comers this Halloween, Wednesday, October 31, from 00:00 until 23:59 pm, Central Daylight Time. That's the treat - we hope you enjoy it, and we hope you spread the word to all your friends so they, too, can enjoy CrossOver goodness. The expected 'trick' is that if you're a US citizen, you should go vote next Tuesday.

You can read more about it in our press release here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/about/general/press/20121029/

and you can see our internal staff reaction to the news here:

Now I've got to run, they've tracked my IP address to this coffee shop I'm hiding in... <grin>

Cheers,

Jeremy "Mallard" White

I've always just set up Wine myself, but seeing as how this automates this to a certain extent, I think I'll gladly try that. Especially since Civ5 is officially supported. I'll see about renewing the subscription afterwards, but the prices are a bit steep for me.

The bottles thing alone is worth it.
Bumadar Oct 30, 2012

havent really found it useful...have tried couple of trials..without much of a success
pure wine or playonlinux seem to work better.

seems crossover is more focused on mac stuff...
Anon Oct 31, 2012
Looking over the officially supported stuff, the ratings seem ridiculous? Most of the source games are marked brozne, yet they work flawlessly in clean wine! And it also applies to many others!

Me thinks they get a little too facetious at times...

EDIT: I am also depressed by the amount of native games and applications listed as being supported either by Codeweavers or the community. I mean seriously, who would want to wine Firefox!?

Shockwave is a reason, although I can't see anyone using it today.

Yeah, well, most of the things I would want out of Shockwave can be replaced by NaCL.

Still wish eZone would convert some their titles over, I might email and see if I can dig up anything about that.
