  1. I would buy it just to support for Linux gaming... by john_sheu · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...or not. We all know that in order to enjoy more support from commercial companies as to Linux software we must prove commercial viability, but buying something just because it runs under Linux is just as bad as buying something just because it runs under Windows. No, our criteron must also include that it is actually decent software, or else we might foster the unreasonable belief that "any Linux software no matter how bad will have a massive geek following". We must promote Linux software, just not bad Linux software.

    Thus, in this case I will not be buying Doom3. It is impressive, to be sure, but I don't like the game.

    Since it's obvious the moderators couldn't understand my humour, I was referring to this comment I made earlier about the demo release. Getting FP was purely incidental and the "Yay!" was directed at the fact that there was finally news of the Linux release.
