Well In those cases it is the absence of a common game development platform which creates problems, but for guys who wanna use a part of code in their gaming platform it makes problem. If you want to make a gaming platform wihtout using linux code best of luck to you. And as far as I think the linux gaming is stuck of this reason only.
Lets see what happens!
Agree, it has a dim future.
For instance take the case of hiding under the picture. There are techniques for hiding which if the person does not know, it is impossible to find the hidden data in a deterministic sense. Well, this just increases problem for people
Correct about openGL but it is not that advanced as far as i came know from some CAD(computer aided design) people
in case of UT and all it is the common platform which is missing and if ou want to make such a platform ON LINUX without using any of their GPL code then it is next to impossible i think.
I am a fan of linux and BSD
But i personally think there is not enough ways of making money by making games for linux. They do not even require maintainence or customization. Well then how will a gaming guy earn from making such a big platform
Well it is not just gaming
the whole 3-D thing on linux seems to be a dead duck
Other than that the fact that there has to be a stable platform for developing games on linux.
Lastly it's the GPL again which will prevent commercialised production of games on linux. But stil there must be some.
