    What I really don't get is why the Linux-community gets all carried away by having a game ported.

    I couldn't care less under which OS a game runs. For CPU intensive games, the OS is even in the way, hurting performance. Yes, Linux as well, albeit maybe marginally less than Windows.

    There is a reason you don't find many games under Linux. Graphic card drivers are much better optimized for Windows systems. Porting a graphics intensive game to Linux is a waste of resources.
