Slow progress

[BubbaTheBarbarian]

With all of the comments about Linux catching up to Windows, there are still some front where there is very slow progress, gaming bieing one of them. This is a small step towards catching up, especially from an end user perspective.
Remember, if we realy want to overtake the leader, we must do everything they do and do it better. While that might gall the "power users' out there, it is a fact of life none the less. Ms must be overwhelmed by a superior product before Linus is taken serisouly as a viable choice by the end user.
WAR TUX!

I'm so sick of people posting exactly what they think mods want to see just to get a few Karma points. In EVERY DAMN STORY about either office software or games, we get the

"Yeah that's good now if Openoffice gets better than MS OFFICE and if Everquest and (insert games here) I really think Linux could supplant microsoft, it will be really interesting to see what the future holds"

Well Aliencow, how about you thrall us all with your acumen then. . .I'm all ears.

I see this listed as a 'Comment' section, and anything or everything I said is 'my comments' on the subject at hand.

If you don't like what other people post, I see a few alternatives for you:
1. Stop reading slashdot.org 2. Stop reading the user comments 3. Stop whining when someone wants to chip in 2 cents

Maybe some people don't read or reply to every story that gets posted all day long, and while I am in the window of time that I can read and post I am taking the opportunity to post some of my thoughts and like to hear what others have to say regarding any given issue.

You have a few issues of your own to work out, get some Prozac and relax, life is too short to be so hostile over what amounts to absolutely NOTHING...

Purchase better than praise

[moc.tfosorcimgllib]

As much as a kudos from Slashdot is worth, this company will only make it if you buy their product. If you have this game for windows, or don't want this game but another, the only way it will get published by LGP is if they stay in business. They only way that will happen is if their products are purchased, so buy the game to support Linux companies to get more games on Linux.

Cool, too late

I bought Majesty a couple of years ago ... great game for laptop'ing on a plane. This was before I switched over to Linux on my clients. I wouldn't mind playing it on my linux boxes, but I'm not going to pay more money for it.

I don't require full parallel development, I can wait 2-3 months for a game to come out on Linux. However, I'm not going to pay full for it twice.

The only game I might consider paying full again would be Black and White ... I never finished it. With that and NWN I'd be set for a long time.

I -would- be willing to pay $10 to enable Linux on some of my old games like Majesty. I can't pull up their site right now to see if this is possible. Or perhaps just copying the full version data over to the Linux demo version if there is one.
