Let linux be the OS of a priviledged few who like full control and playful cleverness using their computers and let puberty boys play their GTA whatever crap on windows.
Higher userbase of OS that isn't windows ->
more demand from the developers to utilize more of the market share that isn't using windows ->
more native code softwares for us ->
Less hoops to jump through while trying to make a software work/supported.

@Tuxee you attacked my post on page 5 why exactly? I didn't say anything that would be considered offensive; unless you feel my percentage was too generous. 11% could hardly be considered offensive unless you felt threatened and one could only feel threatened if they felt I was attacking their OS -- which could only be, in this case, Windows.
I said nothing fanatical. How could suggesting Linux users help people switch be offensive? Your post was like a Worm crawling into the center of an Ant mound in order to disrupt the good intentions of the Community. I think you have a little too much Microsoft in your diet, Sir.

Only reason for an increase of interest to linux from developers is steam machines' concept, which by combining the PC and console gaming worlds relieves the game companies from bloated console API development costs. And the interest to linux (steam machines) of GTA player puberty boys will come after this in the form of reduced gaming hardware and software costs. These events are strongly linked to linux environment but linux environment itself is not the goal here. Those GTA 10 players won't be contributing code to an opensource project nor are interested in creating something beneficial for the linux community. In the end if you wan't linux to succeed as a platform (both in quantity in users and quality) it is YOU that has to work for it. I wan't YOU for the US army!
Why do you think Microsoft licenses and products are distributed freely (0 ?) in schools and universities in many countries?
