I agree that the biggest problem is that the original game creators are only focust on windows and that the way loki worked (and other company's) is riskfull
Biggest problem I think is mostly the distribution, while i can get every windows game in my local store (most of the time before the linux version is released), when I do take the trouble to buy a linux game, it costs me double the amount of the windows version....and I even cant play it on windows, the latter is not of importance to me, since my windows times are almost over, but most people consider those 2 things the biggest problem, I know at least a few windows gamers who would have bought a linux version (even at a higher price) if it was bundeled with the windows version
I will keep supporting linux games (like bying rtcw), but I will warez all the games that I am forced to play on windows, before I wanted to support good game company's by bying their stuff, but now i couldn't care less if they dont have a linux version or have a positive attitude towards gaming on linux (like ID)
