Default Fallout 3 with CrossoverGames?

Apparently CodeWeavers is having a petition thingy on whether or not to make Fallout 3 compatible with their CrossoverGames suites. The thing is that, as opposed to TransGaming (Cedega), they are constantly giving code back to the Wine project, so if something ends up working in Crossover chances are very high that it will also work on Wine.
Now, I'm no fan of these kinds of "emulation" since I think it's more detrimental to the Linux gaming movement as a whole than to have native implementations of games, and even less of a fan of FO3, but given the current state of gaming in Linux anything would be a step forward.

Ditto. WINE isn't really the answer. Expand the number of users and the developers will follow with native apps.
