I assume that IS the point. I guess we'll see after beta comes out and people start buying things.

That is one of the primary things they are actually fixing for these games. They've got the source code and are implementing full compatibility for windows XP and Vista as well as removing DRM. Scroll down the main page for the details.

send them an email. See if we can do some joint venture. Like a small ad on our site for a small ad on theirs, we'll provide widescreen certification if they implement it.

I just sent them an email. Here's to hope...
