Findev Inc. (formerly TransGaming Inc.) is a company specialized in Smart TV gaming. The company has its head office in Toronto and offices in Tel Aviv and Kiev. It was founded by Gavriel State, who ran the Linux product division at the Corel Corporation. The current CEO is Dennis Ensing, who took over from Vikas Gupta, who is now Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. TransGaming's Graphics and Portability Group was acquired by NVIDIA in 2015, paving way to NVIDIA's first office in Canada, located in Toronto. As a result of this, TransGaming is now focussed on its GameTree TV service.

Cider was a technology marketed towards developers that allows Windows games to run on Mac OS X. It shared much of the same core technology as Cedega but was designed for video game designers and publishers. Like Cedega, Cider was a proprietary fork of Wine.

At the 2007 World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC07), Electronic Arts announced their return to the Mac, publishing various titles simultaneously on both PCs and Macs, using Cider on the Mac.

In a newsletter dated 2007-11-13, the company announced that Cider's improvements will be merging back into Cedega.

GameTree Linux was a developer program dedicated to the further development of Cedega, which is a compatibility layer for running Microsoft Windows games on Linux.There are games that run on Cedega but not on Wine, and games that run on Wine but not Cedega. Users that want to play a specific game usually look for it on the games databases available on the web.

GameTreeMac.com was launched in Beta, March 2008, with a focus to offer the Mac gaming community an online retail distribution point for published Mac titles. GameTreeMac was shut down on August 15, 2015.
