We usually don't report on games, but I would like to make an exception today. Blizzard Entertainment has announced the sequel to what many see as the best realtime strategy game ever made: they announced StarCraft II. The original StarCraft, released in 1998, tops many best-games-of-all-times lists, and has sold over 9 million copies worldwide; it is still one of the most popular online games, despite its age. In fact, in South Korea, StarCraft matches are even broadcast on TV.

"The problem with Linux gaming support, even from companies who are great enough to simultaneously release on Windows & Mac, is that there is too much to support in Linux. Hundreds of distros, hundreds of packages and dependencies, sub-par graphics support in the majority of cases (i.e. for graphics cards that matter to gamers). Linux isn't exactly catering for game makers is it?"
Actually not totally true. A game designer does not have to support many distros, just Linux. The Loki installer is a wonderful thing. As for graphics cards, the 2 biggest manufacturers of graphics cards DO support Linux, although with proprietary drivers. Graphics cards that matters to gamers are either ATI or Nvidia, no other manufacturer actually counts for games.
