I completely agree with the idea of games being a major bar to mainstream Linux. However, I've often wondered, how OpenGL compares to directX10. There exists a chicken and egg scenario for Linux games, but if OpenGL, in addition to being cross-platform, actually allowed developers to take games further than directX, they would have zero reason for not using openGL, and the scenario would be sidestepped.
I believe for developers, the reliance on directX is the biggest reason to not release Linux versions. Certainly if Firefox can create both Windows and Linux binaries, so can major game studios. So, why not put more focus on OpenGL? -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
