maybe it is not right that your company is paying extortionate taxes, not that Google does not pay them.

and what is the difference ? you can say the same about income tax paid by Amazon: I am paying it, they just send it to the revenue departments.

sales tax wherever they sell stuff, and income tax in some other country

did Delphi do better on Windows ?

Steam already runs on Ubutu ... no games last time I checked, which was about two month ago

PlayOnLinux can install a lot of games from GoG, then you have Desura with some indie games, Humble Bundle and quite a lot of small developers that dive deep into Linux and find it good enough. BTW, Android is running on a Linux (the kernel) and there are lots of games there that could be ported to GNU/Linux
