It's as if you are paid by MS who are scared of competitio
Says the forum spammer who has nothing better then do then constantly post about the greatness of Linux. If you are going to accuse someone of being a shill then how about you look in the fucking mirror.
This is complete nonsense. You seem to repeat such kind of trolling statements quite often. Do you have anything better to do? May be go research the subject first.
So trolling and a shill, how wonderful.
You don't have valid proof to deny my argument, the only big games that are coming on Linux besides Steam OS ( and even Steam OS games are few and far between ) are crowdedfunded games or games made by companies in a tough financial situation ( see also Age of Wonders 3 ).
@Costin , you obviously don't do any technical work on the computer and have no need or interest in using linux. Fine. But you care about games and that's what linux gaming is all about. In the end, a specialized low latency and high performance system for games can only be a good thing, so I understand your lack of interest but I don't understand your hatred. It's almost like you care about windows more than the games themselves.
I obviously don't give a rat's ass about servers, nor do I see how Linux's server superiority there matters at all here. As for well Linux runs games, well that's up for grabs isn't it? OpenGL might be able to run games better but far easier to use DirectX as a developer ( I've asked around ) because of it's far bigger library.
Also despite Gilrond's claim to the contrary making a game engine run on Open GL is not a trivial matter, as Christ Roberts himself said when he announced Star Citizen on Linux. I'd prefer if developers spend time on making games run on a single API rather multiple ones so they can advantage of that API to it's fullest extent, which the vast majority of game developers do not do and we both know that.
Finally my hatred: If you're willing to hand fucking Valve monopoly on the PC gaming market go ahead, you talked about competition and no DRM...while the only real growth ( and for now it's just talk ) for the Linux market is coming/going to come from Steam OS.
Valve's move there is nothing more then seeking tor retain their digital market dominance, that's simple fact, sure Steam OS may be open but that's irrelevant when you've pretty much got Valve in a dominant position already. The worst thing that could happen to gaming is if Valve gains a dominant position on the console front, the OS front with Steam OS and digital distribution front. So much for competition.
There's no coincidence this all started with Windows Store which threatens Valve's monopoly of digital distribution. Why bother with a third party program when you can just buy games and run directly through Windows?
