This Trademark pretty much sums up the average Freetard’s attitude vis a vis gaming on Linux: YouDontNeedThat™ if you are using Linux on your computer.

It’s strange that guys who are so much into Freedom and Open Source would advise you to buy the most controlled and closed source game systems there are…

You can run Linux on your PS3. Oh wait, not anymore. I guess Sony figures YouDontNeedThat!

or dual boot. Linux doesn’t have the market share for mainstream games yet. Simple as.

@Hoppi
That’s one big factor, but it’s not as simple as that at all. Fragmentation and instability in APIs are other big factors, as well as OpenGL not being as good as DirectX any more.

But part of the point of this TM, is another problem: the section of the Linux community that has the attitude Linux is for “serious business” and not for gaming, which hampers attempts to change the situation.
