Interesting article, games

Lori,

A good list of "game" issues.

Now add the fact that most Linux people are:

o "Open Source" (and typically games aren't)
o quite a few don't believe in paying for anything (and game makers have
to eat)
o game making is more of a science combined with art these days....few
people would be happy playing "Hunt the Wumpus"
o game players try Linux, don't find the games they want, and go back to
Windows, never creating the pool large enough to drive game creation
(and where they are used to paying for software)

P.S. I know, some fairly gross observations, but based on reality.
