Nobody ever thought to get some help from the Blender guys? The Blender projects looked great, much more detailed graphics then any game could do at the time.
The Nexuiz guys that ran off with the code and made a proprietary game out of it where actually more or less on the right track, just because it's OSS doesn't mean you can't make make it paid software, doing so would allow you to fund further development for the game, they just went about it in the wrong way.
Especially on a website which claims to be:
"Phoronix is the leading technology website for Linux hardware reviews, open-source news, Linux benchmarks, open-source benchmarks..."

This game is also the reason, why I do not like to read anything about what gearbox or mandy p has to say.
They have proven to be totally unreliable.
Sega has added disclaimers to its Aliens: Colonial Marines trailers after admitting they didn't accurately reflect the …
Their big hit, borderlands is lets say, inspired by a vid, made by some artists, which they forgot to mention.

pacman -S steam. Click the Icon. Done. It's not like Arch does some magic tricks and work arounds. It just copies to the files to their destination.
I'm an active member of the Steam for Linux Hub on Steam and wonder everytime why other distros suck so much ass. This probably why I stopped
distro hopping the moment I installed Arch Linux. I know this sounds like the typical Arch elitist bullshit ( I'm far from a real Linux guru) but from my point of view unless a distro offers me 3 free wishes I will never use anything else then Arch.
All other distros simply have major disadvantages and offer nothing I can't have on Arch.
