One thing that comes to my mind is to try and convince (stupid, I know :) game companies to open-up the source code for old games that have gone out of trend (which happens fast to most games). Something like tom-clancy's rainbow six, quake, etc. I don't know if that's even worth the try. But if it works, we'd have some cool games in GNU/Linux and BSDs. That way, the development/porting of games becomes a little less non-trivial and we won't be competing with the latest cutting edge games and maybe - just maybe - they won't mind opening up the source code since there's no competitive threat to their current games. Just a thought :D -- Y
