    A bit of editorial nostalgia, perhaps?

    Wouldn't it have been easier to just simply port Civ IV to linux?

    Are you kidding? That would require forethought, and research, and abandonment of the precious DirectX API! Fire would rain from the heavens! Locusts would eat all our crops! Everyone would be covered in boils! It would be the apocalypse!

    Microsoft would bother trying to write a full DirectX port for Linux. Who knows? It may actually work for once, and there may be a boost in the software market, if perhaps it's done free. I'd buy software if I had the free tool to run it flawlessly on another OS. *Might have opened my mouth too late*
