Guess what, guys...
The ones saying do Windows for games aren't helping themselves any.
The MAIN reason there are hassles is for because the industry (something that Dragonlord and myself would know something of...) doesn't see Linux as being viable- not because it is/isn't. For each and every one of you going over to Windows to play games (If you're not going to game on Linux, I DO suggest you take Kano's suggestion to heart- it's less damaging, from start to finish if you're doing it all on Consoles...) is a VOTE for that platform.
Don't talk out both sides of your mouth here. If Linux is a great OS, then you probably OUGHT to stick with it instead of dual booting, etc. One of the main reasons WHY we have less titles than we do is because of this very thinking. People couldn't have waited the 1-2 weeks for Q3:A-Linux from Loki and bought the Windows SKU and "patched" it. Those purchases DID NOT COUNT FOR LINUX USE. They don't track downloads of the conversion software because they're not as constrained as the purchases are. As a result, we all sent a message- we don't buy games. When you talk like you do, you're carrying that vicious cycle forward.
