Games with a critical mass of followers will receive better support from open source communities than they ever will from companies.
Try to get Quake 3 support today. Then try to get support for ioquake3.
Alternatively, try to get support for Transport Tycoon. Now try to get support for OpenTTD.
It's not a matter of "game or not game". We have these examples of formerly commercial games for which commercial support no longer exists, but for which open source community support is plentiful.
- johnchristopher 11y agoBut the critical mass needed to get that kind of support is in the Quake 3 range... I seriously doubt many games are going to reach that threshold and prove that `à la linux' support can work. Especially on the long term (ie: further along the line than the game launch window). I am of the opinion that Quake3 is an exception, not the rule.
