no but these are 2 of the most anticipated PC games that we have ever seen. It only goes down hill from here. UT3 had about the same performance as crysis, Dont get me started with how shit ETQW did, and it was linux native later on.
You are guessing, and nothing more about how many people you think play video games. All that matters to the publishers is the fucking numbers. Not the numbers they can expect to see but the numbers they actually see.
Only a few % of people use linux on the desktop. thats X0,000 people on a million sale game. If that game gets the publisher $30 on average total profit, which is bullshit high, we are looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars potential profit. Thats seriously low for the likes of major publishers. Thats on $30 of total profit to the publisher, they dont stand to make nearly that much. Not even close.
You could argue that linux users are more technically incline however thats just stereotyping at that point. Not all mac users are homosexuals and not all black people like chicken. Ask Torvalds how much he likes blackops. Lemme take a guess and say he doesnt play many games.
And yes, a few extra bucks is nice, but noone is going to take risks in the current economic climate.
