I've been asked on my own forum why people who bought the Windows version of Quake couldn't get some kind of discount on the Linux version. I said that because of the distribution costs id has to charge for the game, even if you bought the Windoze copy.
Granted Unix based games have not sold well. But are you sure your numbers for Q3 are accurate? How many people "borrowed" a copy cause they felt justified in doing so after paying for the Windows version?
Sad but true: People will whine and complain about the cost of comercial software, and then turn around and crack shareware... (yes, I know Q3 isn't shareware... you get my point). How many of you out there didn't show your support for the Linux version of Q3 by paying for your copy?...

I currently own every file that's on my iPod and my laptop -but if I have to pay a "pirate tax" then it's time for me to start pirating files...

it had a built in 10/100BaseT port. I hate using USB to Ethernet adapters!
