Thinking about how there was a company that tried to sell a commercial Wine fork (Windows software on Linux), and when that didn't work out they laid off all their staff and pivoted into real estate

in reply to @dog's post:
is that the product that had it's name become synonymous with "slapdash mac version that barely works"?
Yes!
It's funny, I was just reading about this a few days ago, 'cause I used their MacOS fork as another example for my "Finnish Cheetoes" post.
It is absolutely buckwild.
I saw this! I thought that was a really good longpost about a trend I've witnessed time and time again.
honestly when i was using cider (about 2013-15 in the form of shady prepackaged releases of dubious origin) it wasn't that bad, but admittedly the expectations for full priced software are a little different from a pirated game packaged up by some random forum person who's taken the time to lovingly tweak configurations.
Just an absolute dumpster fire of a company. I used to run a (awful!) website that encouraged Linux users to boycott WineX (later Cedega). They repeatedly abused the open source community, and made sure that native ports of games didn’t happen.
