 Changes afoot at Transgaming
http://www.cedega.com/So, basically, everything is being moved to http://gametreelinux.com/ and the financial cost is being dropped. My gut reaction is that Transgaming is doing this because they've had far more success as a background developer working on Cider ports and with GameTree than they have had selling Cedega directly.

All I know at this point is that the subscription fee is being dropped.

 Re: Changes afoot at Transgaming
your account was probably actually created.
if you go back and try to login, you'll find that it seems to be working... on a limited basis.
The site(s) seem to be in a transition phase right now.

 Re: Changes afoot at Transgaming
As best as I can tell at this point: No. It seems to be that there will be a code release Soon (tm). I've sent Transgaming a list of questions over the conversion, but I don't know when (or if) they'll respond.

 Re: Changes afoot at Transgaming
I'm going to share part of an email I have from Transgaming.  |  |  |  | Quote: As long term supporters of TransGaming and our Cedega technology we wanted to take this time to inform you that the Cedega Gaming Service is coming to a close in its current incarnation, and will cease operation as of February 28, 2011. While it is never easy to turn the page on such a revolutionary service, we are excited by the possibilities to come as we retool Cedega into a different offering. Please be assured, Cedega as a technology is not being retired, but rather, it is evolving into a new enablement technology for the Linux desktop. Among other reasons, the current Cedega gaming service is ending due to the withdrawal of our e-commerce payment provider, WorldPay, who will be terminating their service for Canadian companies such as TransGaming effective January 31, 2011. |  |  |  |  |
I'm awaiting permission from Gav and/or Transgaming Staff to share the rest of the contents of that email.
