[Bug 8051] Sims 2 demo exits prematurely

In the hopes of staving off the number of emails this conversation is
generating(!) could I suggest as a resolution that rather than posting comments
in Bugzilla (which is no doubt irritating the developers), that somebody here
contacts a lead member of the Wine dev team directly, and asks them if The Sims
2 can be a criteria for the next main release of Wine, just as working
Photoshop support was for Wine 1.0?

I suspect there's actually an awful lot of us Linux geeks who are held back
from installing Linux on home computers because wives/girlfriends/sisters play
this game addictively, so I think there's a very persuasive case for how
important it indirectly is.

Bottom line though: I know I'm certainly sick of seeing non-bug related info on
this bug spamming by inbox, and I think everyone posting in here needs to
respect the hard (and voluntary!) work the developers are doing by not filling
this thread with any more chatter.
