John Carmack: Kudos To Valve, But Linux Is Still Not a Viable Gaming Market

Posted by Soulskill on from the give-it-another-decade dept.

dartttt writes "John Carmack recently presented a keynote at QuakeCon. He said Linux is still not a commercially viable gaming platform, and the two forays they have made into the Linux commercial market have not been successful. Valve's announcement about Steam for Linux changes things a bit, but it remains a tough sell."

    People still listen to what he has to say regarding gaming and gameplay? Rage was an unmitigated disaster. Go back to designing game and rocket engines John, you arent that relevant anymore.
