I'm not saying that there is no market for it, but you have to admit this is how a lot of companies will view it. Add to that the fact that, aside from MMO's, the PC gaming market is being eaten up by the console market. There is little enough money to be made in making games for Windows, even less for Linux. I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future the only kind of of PC games we will see are MMO's, everything else will be for console. It's just where the money is at.
Since Linux use free software, they expect it. The gaming industry doesn't see much profit in spending money developing a game that people will scoff at paying money for.
