If we are still waiting for the announced games to be released as the expected date was on July, other games taking advantage of Cider are already on the market, such as Heroes of Might and Magic V, Myst Online: URU Live, X3: Reunion or the game engine offered by GameTap. As Transgaming did not lock its application package, many users have been performing their own porting of PC games! They successfully launched Far Cry, GTR 2, or even Colin Mac Rae 2005 natively on Mac OS X, simply by using X3: Réunion or GameTap-distributed application as starting basis...
To give you an idea, a reader posted a video of official and unofficial Cider-powered games:
The list of compatible games increases everyday, and there is no reason for any stop, as long as Cider keeps being updated, and EA Games releases new titles. If might end if Transgaming modifies its SDK and force developers to protect their package... (but there is no real reason for that).
Of course, Cider does not support anti-copy protection, and hackers have been manipulating codes of "cidered-games"; but we could imagine Transgaming releasing a user kit or Apple integrating in Mac OS X a similar technology (based on Wine i.e.) which would be the Rosetta for games, making the library for Mac games the largest ever.
