One of the main problems with Loki ports IMHO is that they don't grab much of the market due to redundancy. Not many 'hardcore' gamers want to shell out more cash for a linux port of a game they already own, which works perfectly on their current operating system. The only way the idea of porting games to Linux can be popular to developers is if their market flox to it. Quick remedy: Release the required binaries for free.
