My questions comes from a financial and a end user stand point. Being that linux is not known for being a "gaming OS" as it's competition from across the table(mainly microsoft) due to the fact that it does not recieve third party support in the gaming arena, do you think this is a drawback to the linux community? id software is the only major gaming company supporting linux, what advantages and disadvantages does that hold for id software finacially and can there income comming from the linux users compare to the income that is gained from windows users. Lastly do you think it is foolish for other major gamining companies not to take advantage of the opportunites linux may have?
