Editing Cedega (software) (section)

==History==
Cedega subscribers dwindled as users expressed a number of complaints<ref name="yourusersareleaving">{{cite web | url = http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8924 | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708131153/http://www.cedega.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8924 | archivedate=July 8, 2011 | date=October 2, 2007 | publisher = TransGaming | title = Your users are LEAVING}}</ref> 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 attributed the apparent lack of interest from TransGaming on Cedega to their focus on [[TransGaming Technologies#Cider|Cider]], a similar Wine-based API layer for Mac OS X systems, supported by [[Electronic Arts]] to bring their Windows native games to Mac.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.transgaming.com/news/?id=50 | title = TransGaming to Develop EA Titles for Mac OS X | access-date = 2007-12-03 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071210211745/http://www.transgaming.com/news/?id=50 | archive-date = 2007-12-10 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

On November 13, 2007's Development Status report, TransGaming explained that a number of modifications had been made to Cedega's code to add Wine's implementation of the [[Windows Installer|MSI]] installation system and to be able to incorporate more of Wine's codebase.<ref name="Cider">{{cite web|url=http://www.cedega.com/theden/?p=6 |publisher=Cedega |title=Cider }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> It was never confirmed if those changes were in conformance with Wine's LGPL license.

Also on the November 13, 2007 report, it was announced that all of the work done on Cider would 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.<ref name = "Cider" />
On September 23, 2008, Cedega officially presented the new version 6.1.

Cedega Gaming Service was retired on February 28, 2011.<ref name="cedega.com"/>
