I think he's referring to developers making a quick port using Wine as a wrapper similar to Cider.

Cider sucks, though.

Yes, this is what I meant. Cider does suck, because Cider is based on a proprietary fork of a 7 year old branch of the Wine code and couldn't keep pace with the open source version. There's a reason Transgaming abandoned Cedega as a consumer product, and it's been that free Wine has been vastly superior for a while.

Codeweavers has already moved into the porting space using their expertise around free Wine, and perhaps not surprisingly Transgaming has begun to pivot into completely different areas.
