Games 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.

"just saying "I got it to work" or even letting that thought through your mind means Linux has issues"

Erm, # apt-get install flightgear && flightgear
ditto for TORCS. Not sure what trouble you had. There's no such OS as Linux, you know. These games run just fine on Debian though.

"I *WILL* pay for games on Linux"

Yeah, you and about a hundred other people. So if you each pay $10,000 for the game...

For every hacker working on OSS games, there's a hundred people saying he's not doing a good enough job. If you're going to hack OSS, hack something people will appreciate.

There's not much point in churning out more FPS's or MMORPG's anyway. They're all pretty much the same.
