the windows... but usually the linux games are not like the others (eg:
crisis, gta)
is it possible for linux to have these kind of games.. Gaming is the
best idea of marketting (60% of people using windows, does it for gamings)
I also thought it would be great if the gaming companies like the
Electronic arts, ubisoft could create games for linux (atleast a linux
support for the games they create like the NFS)
Then most of the people would migrate to linux.... i still dream about
these hope to see it one day
Electronics Arts or any other game company won't port games for Linux
unless there is a real commercial demand. Look up the cost for producing
a modern 3d shooter. It goes up to over 20 million dollars and has
something like a TB of content. This is unlikely to happen without a
huge desktop share leading to a proportional customer demand or some
vendor paying these companies outright to get a good port running.
Sorry, there are no easy answers, here.
