http://mygaming.co.za/news/news/50241-carmack-would-be-stunned-by-mainstream-linux-gaming-support.html Normally I really like what Carmack says, but he says something here that I don't subscribe, not at all. It's ok for me to have ALSO the choice of the emulation to sell, but not the only way to play/sell games on Linux. He say that the market it's not big enough, but also the budget needed for a porting on Linux it's not so expansive. In some cases, we have seen one man making good porting, look to Ryan Gordon, IE. (he ported a lot of games on Linux, IE, Aquaria, Prey, Postal1-2, Unreal tournament, etc etc) And now also Steam is paying to have a LinuxLab http://steamcommunity.com/linux and http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/ to make porting, not emulation, so it's a demonstration that the market it's not so tiny as he says. And look also on every Humble Bundle: they have an incredible success on selling game, and the major contributor payed for single game (average), is always by Linux people. See https://www.humblebundle.com/ What do you think about?
