If the charge is  "Did they redirect game bugs to themselves" the plea 
has to be "damb straight". Games, Games, Games  thats what their name 
implies and what website touts.  It _is_ what they are all about.

After Transgaming opened up I started to see replies to bug reports 
about games that went something like this:

"Why not subscribe to transgaming its only 5 bucks a month and they will 
fix your program and wine will get the patches."

At the time I felt that if I posted my "game bugs" on the newsgroup I 
would get that for an answer.  I don't think I am the only one who felt 
that way either.
