I'm very happy for Dawn of War II, Feral did really a great job!
The port runs great and it's definitely a good advertisement for our platform.

Who knows, maybe the guys @ CDProject will change their mind if we get other great ports!

Good luck to Feral for Deus Ex, if they can provide us with a decent port, then we will sure have another impact to the close-source people out there :)
