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.

Loki games did an alright job at bringing games to Linux, but the "community" didnt support them enough. I'm not a gamer, and even I bought a couple of their titles(Sim City and Civ CTP).
Loki wasnt in an ideal position to make big money though, their games were released months after the Windows versions, because they weren't simultaneously developed. Plus developers like Maxis blocking ports of games like The Sims, didnt help.
The best hope Linux gaming has is for some Linux loving company to develop a killer game, release it for Linux do a windows port after a few months. Maybe that'll make other devs follow suit?
