hmm, OK, so mickeysoft is changing one of their APIs yet again... and
that relates to linux games how?
I'm just suggesting that more of the balance falls to the DirectX
crowd than ever before.
Unless OpenGL has something competitive to this, I can't see
developers choosing to port games to openSUSE or other distros.
LOL, nobody has ever ported a game to opensuse, no need.
Loki ported many Windows games to Linux..not just opensuse
but one CD that worked on every distro.
I have RailRoad Tycoon II, Platinum edition, as
a native Linux installation.
I even bought it right off the shelf at an honest to
goodness brick-and-mortar store.

The games will come AFTER businesses start putting
Linux on the desktop.
A lot of people want the same OS at home as what
they use at work.
Once significant numbers of people are using Linux
on the desktop at work, the home software market
will inflate very rapidly.
