But really, if we just get a slow but steady stream of amazing games like World of Goo, I'll not shed a tear for the loss of eight million sequels and ten half-hearted new properties.

I jest, it actually looks really nice. Downloading the penumbra demo now, thanks...
By the way, for windows users - Steam is doing a UT3 free weekend this weekend, so if you're struggling to maintain interest in this game maybe you should check it out.
I wish more game developers would start selling linux versions of games, instead of selling the windows version and offering a .bin in some dusty corner of their website.

Those guys have really understood how the software will evolve within the next 10 years. Epic has understood just a little.

I've played all of the UT series from day one, and UT3 is easily the best of them in every way possible.
As far as the engine, there is a good reason so many titles are using the U3 engine - it's fantasticaly beautiful, and runs extremely fast.

Concerning ID, they make available for linux their latest titles and open-source the older ones.
So, ID really helps linux gaming. However, I add to your comment that ID-only support is not enough for making linux gaming stronger.
