Correct, but ...


Games are too expensive to target for a tiny % of the market. Now, if the next fantastic game engine (Doom IV, Unreal v.Whatever, Lithtech v.xxx) was designed from the ground up to be *cross platform*, then we might have a winner, particularly if the game ran faster on Linux and we could show that wasn't just a factor of fudging the other plaforms' code.

    pc gamers in general use there computers for internet, E-mail and general entertainment along with a whole bunch of people who use all of the above and have a quick blast on tetris or what every now and then. The point I think is to make an easy to use but powerfull OS that will satify the one click and its done market and the power hungry must have more people. I am somewhere inbetween. I reckon if Linux were ever to get this balance right there would be no stopping it.
