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.

They probably would never have gotten off the ground if their buisness plan (sell Linux games) was rotten. Instead it got rotten managment and that can kill almost any company.
I use my computer almost exclusivley for games but I rarely use MS Windows. Why? because most of the good games have already been written. 99% of my gameing is retro. I do not care about the latest and buggiest games, I care about the classics. So it's mainly emulators for me, except for those games that have open source code. For example did anyone here know that Elite has downloadable code and you can compile and run it in Linux?
I think most modern gamers don't even know what Elite is. Until you read in some magazine about how some game tried to have the feel of Elite.
Not everyone wants to play the latest MS Windows games. I know that all the games some people play are those Java ones they download off the web (yahoo, etc) and console owners don't really care about Linux vs MS either. Don't try to put you game players into a box they won't fit.
