I agree with you cavalen. I suspect it’s a matter of short-term thinking. It appears to me that larger gaming companies might be looking at short-term profit, ie: “how can we turn a fast profit, in the shortest period”. I think they might not be truly evaluating the trend towards Linux based OS’s and open source in general. Of course there might be another scenario… Perhaps they’ve looked far enough ahead. Perhaps the future is fully opensource. Maybe there’s no support because there’s no profit using the existing business model? Maybe they don’t want to change that model? Maybe they should.

Hey .. good games, but a lot of people just complain because they can’t play Call of Duty 4 or Crysis in Linux ..
The problem is that Linux is not supported by most of the gamming companies.

My 8600GT can’t really confirm that it’s lacking any games either. Some people are just too windows-minded and expect ubuntu to be windows + more or something.
