If everyone wrote into the distibutor's of games asking for these games to run on Linux, then they *will* take notice!
No, they really don't care what you write...they care about sales, period. Sales of Quake 3 on Linux have been weak and neither id or Loki is happy about it. 3D support in Linux sucks right now and they've found that it's much more difficult to support than Windows. I'm sorry, but installing the latest DirectX drivers is much easier than patching your kernel, recompiling it, compiling glx/Mesa and installing that as an Xfree module. Until kernel agp/Xfree 4.0 DRI stuff is all standard, 3D stuff will be pretty thin.
Right now they think there is no demand...Hate saying this to the list so much (Ok if you do not play games..But do you know anyone who does??) but if we lose the Desktop then we lose everything.
Yeah...like all Linux desktop users are just going to give up one day and go back to Windows. -- Jeremy [jeremy@wellsgaming.com]
