Comment 43 for bug 1

elias: I had the same thoughts. The problem is that gamers say "I will go to Linux when my fav. games have Linux support". The game devs say "If our customers use Linux, we will give our games Linux support."

That is the problem. So maybe the advantages in developing games for linux should be told to the game devs like: Improved stability (because the game has to compile under different compilers) and so on

An other option would be to make something like Cedega, just easier and better, to release it under the GPL and to integrate it into Ubuntu.
