What's the status of games like Jamestown who now have Mac and Linux ports?

For instance, Jamestown was a part of a recent Humble Bundle and therefore has both Mac and Linux ports (and it runs SPECTACULARLY on both -- highly recommended!).

This is listed as "Bronze", which makes sense for CX, but isn't it sort of a lost cause to try to support the Windows version of something that now has native ports?

Still no reply on this one, and with Humble Bundle V out, situations like this are becoming more common.

It's true that some of the apps which run well under CrossOver have native ports as well. The rankings are, I believe, intended to let people know how good a job CrossOver does of running the Windows version of a given product. Of course, the priority of supporting a particular thing could be impacted by the existence of a native port. But if the Windows version runs under CrossOver, it runs :)
