  There are also less expensive ways to do porting, as has been proven by
TransGaming which is partly in the business of porting MS Windows games to
Linux for various companies.  http://www.transgaming.com/

  This is a chicken and egg issue.  The Linux Game market is bad as there 
aren't many linux games.

  I'm not a game player, and don't run any proprietary software (there are
very few FLOSS games - games have more artistic content than functional
content so don't map as well onto the FLOSS model), so this isn't an issue
for me to take on.  It should be interesting to some of the gamers to help
get that "last excuse to run Microsoft Windows" out of the way.
