And under which stone have you lived that you didn't know that? And why are your statements about amateurs and professionals relevant when you didn't know that?
Mindless trolling as usual. Get a life.

He missed the glaringly bright "big picture" entirely.

If that was the point of FLOSS, the licenses would prohibit corporations from doing anything with OSS code. Instead, they encourage corporations to contribute. That's sort of the point of doing everything in the open, to get multiple corporations to all work together and benefit from the same codebase. And let individuals do so as well, of course.

There *is* room for improvement -- these certainly don't run as fast as they do on Windows, at least at the current stage of radeonsi development -- and I'd love to see performance improved upon further, but at this time everything is entirely playable at high settings.
Radeonsi/Mesa/Gallium3D works wonders with Wine, as well. I've been re-playing Arkham City (since they stripped out GFWL and released the GOTY edition) through Wine and it's worked pretty much flawlessly.
I'm incredibly happy with radeonsi/Mesa right now.
