I think his point is that all fc t3 users will have problems with these 
games. Dismissing him with a wave of the hand because he's using an 
nvidia card may work for awhile, but eventually there may be some brave 
souls who venture to attempt games with non-nvidia cards, and when they 
see the same problems and worse, the problems will get the attention 
they really should be getting now - you create a sort of vicious cycle 
when nvidia cards are really the only practical choice for a linux 
gamer, but users of nvidia cards are shouted down when reporting bugs.

I hope the development community finds a better response than dumping on 
nvidia, since nvidia might just decide it's too damn much trouble to 
support linux - and then we'll really be out of luck.
