The problem is that right now, there is a dearth of Linux titles for modern games. A couple FPS have been ported, but ever since Loki went out of business, the opportunity to run things like RailRoad Tycoon, unfortunately depends on a Windows installation :-(.
You're presumably aware of LGP who seem to have picked up the mantle from Loki in porting commercial games to Linux, even maintaining some of Loki's ports such as MindRover? http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com
Sadly, they seem to have a marketing budget of about 20p. I only discovered them by chance but we bought "x2: The Threat" from them and we're planning on buying more. Partly, truth be known, to support anybody brave enough to try creating a market for Linux games. I bought pretty much everything Loki published for similar reasons but it didn't seem to do them any good :(
I think one of the best policies is to mention these sorts of companies as much as possible -- word of mouth helps overcome a shoe-string advertising budget -- look at how many Linux web servers were set up in corporate environments before most people had even heard of Redhat. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
