[cw-discuss] Crossover Games?

By and large they will be the same, although with CxGames we're going
to try to stick much closer to WineHQ, and we'll feel no remorse in removing
hacks specific to Office from the Games tree.

We don't intend to make it annoying for people that want to use CrossOver
for both games and productivity applications.  We mostly want to create
a new option for people that just want to play games.

So it's likely that if you run an unsupported application, you'll
be able to pick and choose and move between regular CrossOver and CxGames
at will.

Cheers,

Jeremy
