Gameguard ruins wine?

[ltl]

A little quote from the official cabal forums:

Playing Cabal on linux is impossible thanks to gameguard, WINE (or Cedega) cannot correctly emulate the environment needed for gameguard to run which causes Cabal to exit with an error. You should check the WINE (and Cedega) websites for other people views/experiences trying to run any gameguard protected game on linux, none of them work.

Until nprotect design their system for linux you need to run windows.

Is that true?

Still true - GameGuard is a rootkit that won't ever work on Wine.
