yes, id Software have really tried to push their games for Linux, and really tried to make a business case, but it have failed every time.
As Carmack have said many times at QuakeCon, the user base is just not big enough, and MS is doing a very good job with DirectX.
I don't even know if Doom 3 is released for Linux, but once Rage have matured, Carmack will release the Doom 3 source code. See his keynote.
Who would have though that John Carmack is one of the biggest contributors to Open Source?

One of the World of Goo creators had positive things to say about the sales of WoG on Linux.
About Cedega: their business model is extremely annoying. I subscribed once and got a couple of versions. Now I'm not subscribed any more and am trying to get a game running on the version I have. But I've run into problems and cannot access the technical tips section of the database because I'm not subscribed. Which basically makes the versions of Cedega I have completely useless.
I will really, really never subscribe to Cedega again.Last edited by dammarin; 23 May 2009, 11:47 AM.

Why should I support a company/product who does nearly nothing better (and sometimes even worse) than an open source software (which is free!)?

For me, Cedega is a great product, but it might now be for others.
If your games works in Wine, then stick with Wine. Why change?
