Open source is about the convenience to developers and business. It is a  
valid business reason to do so. Where it might actually help a competitor  
companies are extremely careful not to release the source code. It's why  
Intel releases 100% of the source and NVIDIA/AMD won't. You find that in a  
lot of cases its the lesser performing of the hardware which is really well  
supported in GNU/Linux. Humorously this frequently gives it a significant  
advantage from an ease of use stand point and speeds up a persons computer  
too. When source is shared between programs/drivers/etc the quality of the  
code improves and there is less demand on system resources. This is generally  
speaking of course.

The solution to the gaming problem (lack of quality games) is to start  
businesses and promote the free software business models in the game arena.  
It's a bit of a step to go from what I do to running a development shop that  
creates free software games. However I don't see any reason the same thing  
can't be done for games what we're doing/going to do for free software.
