Comment Re:Linux Games Fail Becuase of Sales. (Score 1) 114
It was because of sales yes, but not because Linux people will not pay for software. I am awaiting decent 3D acceleration, as I'm sure many are. I have a GeForce 2 MX. The Quake 3 demo runs slightly faster than Windows at 800x600, but runs significantly slower than Windows at 1024x768. Got the same results under both Debian and Slackware with many different settings tweaked. Linux game sales definately aren't going to do really great even with Windows equivalent drivers, but I know myself, I would have bought Quake 3 had better drivers been available.
I'm sure as drivers get better more people will consider Linux for their gaming needs. I always look for the most FPS I can get out of my card. If I know Windows is giving me more, that's where I'll be.
Let's not forget to mention that I seen a few stores selling Quake 3 for $20 more than the Windows version.
