I disagree, Windoze gamers are gonna look at all the linux heads jumping up and down shouting "kewl we got (insert obsolete bad selling old game) for Linux now. Windoze is dead," smile and install directx 8.
What the linux world doesnt need is ports of old average win32 games, what it needs to do is to petition companies like Looking Glass, Westwood et all to release the quality games simultaneously. ID Software are being great in this regard and thats what we need.
Unfortunately, I think many of these companies, and especially the publishers are even more frightened by the piracy problem on Linux than Windows...
Screw it, lets just opensource our own games, if we can make a better OS with opensource we can make better games too.
