Why play a closed source game? by Jagasian · 2002-09-09 05:04 · Score: 1, Flamebait

Why play a closed source game, when you can play a great opensource (GPL) game like Quake? The gameplay in Quake is just as good (some say it is even better) than the latest and greatest first person shooter. Not only that, but Quake runs nicely on 4 year old PCs. You can already play Quake on Linux starting today, so why wait for a closed course, expensive rehashing of the same thing thats already here?
