- philliphaydon 13y agoBecause game companies will likely delay games, cut corners to get cross-platform and claim its too hard, but still charge the same price for less content. If that makes sense.
- officemonkey 13y agoYou've just described Mac gaming. :-D
- seabrookmx 13y agoI doubt it. Most indy studios use a tool like Unity or gameplay3d to build games, which can already target Linux. Triple AAA titles from studios like EA already have OpenGL ports for the PS3/PS4, so it's just a matter of adding a layer to interact with X and the input APIs. With their huge amount of resources and budgets, this is child's play.
- officemonkey 13y agoI think having a lot of new competent programmers (like gaming company programmers) on your OS results in bug-fixes, performance improvements, and "itch-scratching" that will improve the Linux desktop experience. I can't think of the downside to gamers, but I can think of the upside to Linux.
