>From my understanding of a lot of the bigger game studios, it's the publisher that prevents things like this in most cases (they hold the purse strings and aren't willing to invest the money). Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be the case based on interviews I've read. The market share for Linux doesn't adequately compensate for the difficulty of the port, in most cases, especially since most studios use Direct3d instead of OpenGL.
