Linux Gaming after Loki

mahdi13 writes "Linux Hardware has a great story about the past, present and future of Linux Gaming in 2003. They briefly touch on the commercial games available and what will be available for Linux in the near future. It is a good read and contains excellent information to keep the Linux Gamers satisfied with what is commercially available."

    Hello, linux games are a joke compared to windows games. linux is good for servers, windows is good for games, just like American women are good for sport fucking but make terrible wives. Some things just go hand in hand.

  3. There's plenty of games for Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You can download zSnes and play supernintendo games, there's Mame so you can play arcade games, theres a ton of NES-emulators and... oh wait... you are talking about _new_ games? Sorry. Never mind.

    Oddly enough, i can't remember more than 2-3 games worth playing from last year, at least not for the PC.

    Linux = Server = Geek = Porn. I don't see gaming in the equation.

    Yes, that's a very mature viewpoint to take. Wanting someone dead for dealings in business? You might be trying to exagerate for some type of effect, I'm not sure what that might be, but it's really inappropriate. When someone dies there are serious consequences and I don't think it's right to make jokes about death.

    ... "Linux Gaming" still sounds like an oxymoron to me. Kind of like "Macintosh Computer" or "Microsoft Open Source"

    Idiot.

    Buy a gamecube and realize that linux, and UNIX in general, is not a gaming platform, is not a home desktop OS, and never will be.

    I agree. If you want to play all the games that you think you *need* to play so badly, use Windows or Mac or Xbox or whatever it is that they are coming out for. The article wasn't one of these "Linux is everything" and "you must run Linux because it has these games" but rather it was pointing out what is out there, and what will be out there in the future.

    I have a Playstation and three Linux computers. I like to know what games will come out for Linux, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, and hence I wrote the article.

    So then we should reject every FPS game, since we've already got Quake 3 Arena, and every sports game because we've got Stoned, and every racing game because we've got TuxRacer?

    Get a grip. Do you want more games for Linux or not? Why is choice bad? Why can we have 80 desktop environments and window managers, but we can only have one RTS game?
