LINUX GAMING
The game studio DICE responsible for hit titles like the Battlefield series, has expressed "strong" interest in Linux. DICE, which is owned by EA, is just the latest of many game studios now exhibiting strong interest in Linux following Valve's leading Linux actions.

In speaking to Polygon.com, Lars Gustavsson, the DICE creative director said the game studio would "strongly" like to get into Linux. Lars also said that they feel Linux only needs one "killer" game to explode in popularity, similar to Halo kicking off the original Xbox.

It's easy to get Linux these days and with a very popular title being exclusive to Linux, it could drive many Windows gamers to Linux. More of DICE's Linux gaming comments can be found at Polygon.com.
