Indie game developer Wolfire Games gives 5 solid reasons why games developers should support Mac OS X and Linux. [via TUAW]
"Obviously supporting Mac OS X and Linux means you tap into another platform and expand your potential market base. That much is clear. But surely adding an extra 5% is negligible, right? Wrong. Not all five percents are created equal." For their game Lugaru, they go on to claim "supporting Mac OS X and Linux directly increased sales by around 122%."

Most GNU/Linux successful company all use the same lines , so you have no real point or anything intelligent to say.
Loki Failed due first to bad management , lack of real fundings ( one of the lawsuit had one manager asking to have 100 000 on is credit card be repaid from loki plus is unpaid salary of many months ) and overpaid business system and employee , also to lawsuits from former manager and disgruntled employee.
The sales of games where pretyy decent , but when you spend 15 time what you earn , you never survive very long , also the looming bankrupty sign over a company head block expansion and sales drastically , people tend to shy away from almost bankrupt company be it distributor or end-user's client.
If you had actually read the article it's explained clearly that they sold more GNU/Linux copy then windows but less then Apple Mac OS X.
Real experience say that people like you have no experience at all except in bashing and making lies about GNU/Linux. Why would GNU/Linux evangelist want to talk or associate with you at all ?
