Linux gaming. Let's face it - it's terrible. Tux Racer? Please. Quake III, okay, I'll give you that. NeverWinter Nights? If you can get it to work. WINE? If you have enough hair left to pull out, WINE is a good choice.

I really don't understand why people complain when they do not get their Windows games to run on Linux. The games are made for Windows! You don't hear someone who owns an XBox complain that he can't play PlayStation 2 games on it!
Although I do agree with the fact that Linux needs native gaming, one must be fair too. Game companies try to make money. And, other than the big shots in the gaming world, most companies simply cannot afford and justify the time put into a native linux port. Why would they "waste" their precious time on a platform that has about 3% of the desktop world in its hands? These people need to make money too, and the easiest and fastest way to make money, is to make Windows games.
