    ID games will be releasing an Linux binary for Doom3; Unreal Tournament has been Linux compatabile for awhile now, as is NeverWinter Nights. When I use a Linux native version, it sends the manufactures a message that Linux is a viable gaming platform. When I use Cedega, I don't send that message.

    Transgaming has also prevented at least one native port from making it to market, as I recall; I believe it was one of the Kohan series. Perhaps another /.-er can fill in the details?
