Blizzard is at least co-operating with TransGaming on World of Warcraft, so they are at least aware that there are Linux users out there. :)
Perhaps someone could act as a representative for CodeWeavers? It might make Blizzard more attentive. I can try to get some info from TransGaming about the co-operation, if anyone thinks it would be useful.
We have someone at Blizzard that at least responds to our emails, although I wouldn't characterize them as especially helpful.
However, to be honest, I'm not really aware of a lot of issues where we have a burning need for their help. My understanding is that it mostly works fairly well.
Stefan, is that not true? Do we need a lot from them?
Nothing huge and important really. They seem to be testing their releases with wine too, some blizzard dev said something like that on the wow forums when asked about a bug in their beta releases.
Every now and then I stumble accross some things where I'd ask someone from Blizzard, but in all those cases I could find a solution myself, and most likely quicker than waiting for someone responding, making sure we talk about the same problem and then debugging the things.
One thing that would be valueable to us would be to know how the Warden(the anti-cheat system) works, but I don't think Blizzard would tell us. Having someone taking us seriously for sure would be a good thing should we run into a huge problem like a mass ban like Transgaming had, or an update breaking wow in Wine/Crossover completely.
