I'm working as a game programmer (mostly low level C++ stuff) here in Bulgaria and my salary is around the $10 an hour mark. Lots of western companies outsource here: Ubisoft, Crytek, IBM, VMWare, Johnson Controls, Siemens... the list goes on. My income is above average and I think the people here still consider programmers special "knowledge workers".
Blizzard needs to target single popular desktop distro like Ubuntu for their eventual linux port. Maybe even talk to Canonical for support and games related improvements. The community will handle other distros.
