I'm kind of surprised that the gamers haven't taken Linux to their hearts, since for apps that demand lots of computing power and top performance, it's the natural choice. But it seems they haven't.
Perhaps because 3D video is still a problem. And because they use a closed source model as well.

Market share is one problem, The next one, is Windows allows direct hardware access (one more crash reason), and more programmers are Windows ready. If it was a 3d engine thing, Crystalspace would have taken off years ago.

You have only to look at the many times the words "nvidia" "ati" and "3D" appear on this list, to know that 3D is a problem. And also license things are also a problem for gaming companies. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDsqQLtTMYHG2NR9URAm/uAKCWeVqzy6pPkKanw2PqnT1bRjx29wCfYMR+ OFfjI3cWbgceyu7WYOu8D+g= =voLB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
