A Linux User's Perspective Of Microsoft Windows 8

99% of modern "AAA" titles are "ZZZ" in reality, being compensated by DLC, patches after 3 years and mods, and still lacking.
The idea is if Linux has games with good gameplay. Yes, it has.

My old nokia feature phone has a couple games on it but that does not really make it a gaming console.

Also one could argue that 99.9% of linux titles are "ZZZ" in reality as well.

The words are not troublesome, your interpretation of what they meant was. Some times the words are meant to be taken litterally.

PS3 hands down.

You didn't listen to the question then.

An avid gamer walks up to you and asks " I really want to play a lot of kick ass games on the PC. What OS do I get to do so?" what would your reply be?

Again, you are hiding behind changing definitions and generalizations. If you said that there are no games for Linux that you like, well, that would be your opinion, but to say that there are no games for Linux is a flat-out lie. Plus there are plenty of distinct titles that do not fit into your rather limited categories, but it is not my job to list out information that is already easy to find and readily available.

Does not change the fact that your words were troublesome, even if you legitimately had no intent behind it.

As a general rule, when people say " there are no games for linux " they are talking about the AAA mainstream titles and not the 15th incarnation of a id tech quake engine fps or a puzzle game.

that's really funny to hear people, from countries which had "black" slaves in the past, calling me racist... I was born in russia. russia neved had "BLACK" SLAVES. to be true I first saw a "black" man as I went to germany in the age of 13 until that moment I saw "black" skinned people only in US films on the TV

Well, as a country Canada never had black slaves either. The British of course did, but Canada technically did not. Now we were of course based on the notion of disfranchising an entire group of people and taking their land, but then again, the Russians have done that to.

Does not change the fact that your words were troublesome, even if you *may* have legitimately had no intent behind it.

They said there were no games, which is a myth. I really do not give a rats ass about whether some magazine considers a title important or not, the fact of the matter is there are plenty of game titles released for Linux, many of them quite good. You can not escape this fact by simply changing your definitions.

As a general rule, when people say " there are no games for linux " they are talking about the AAA mainstream titles and not the 15th incarnation of a id tech quake engine fps or a puzzle game.
