History
Cedega subscribers have been reducing constantly and have expressed a number of complaints due to lack of updates, fatal problems with supported games and with Wine having achieved a number of features that were unique to Cedega, giving even better compatibility in some cases. Users attribute the apparent lack of interest from TransGaming on Cedega to their focus on Cider, a similar MS-Win32, Wine-based API layer for Mac OS X systems, supported by Electronics Arts to bring their Windows native games to Mac.
On November 13, 2007's Development Status report, Transgaming explained that a number of modification have been made to Cedega’s code to add Wine's implementation of the MSI installation system and to be able to incorporate more of Wine’s codebase. It has not been confirmed if these changes are in conformance with Wine's new license (GNU LGPL).
Also on the November 13, 2007 report, it was announced that all of the work done on Cider will be merged back into Cedega (since both share the same code). Among the new features are “new copy protection, 2.0 shader updates, a head start on shader model 3.0, performance upgrades, a self updating user interface” and others. On September 23, Cedega officially presented the new version 6.1
Cedega Gaming Service was retired on February 28, 2011.
