Games Indie game developer Wolfire Games gives 5 solid reasons why games developers should support Mac OS X and Linux. [via TUAW] "Obviously supporting Mac OS X and Linux means you tap into another platform and expand your potential market base. That much is clear. But surely adding an extra 5% is negligible, right? Wrong. Not all five percents are created equal." For their game Lugaru, they go on to claim "supporting Mac OS X and Linux directly increased sales by around 122%."

Have you tried to run your payed for Loki Entertainment Software game on todays Linux distributions? It most probably wouldn't work.

My Loki games run just fine on Ubuntu 8.10. I never expected that they wouldn't. I'm in the middle of a run-thru of Rune right now. Makes a nice break from programming.

Where did you get the idea that they wouldn't work?
