2.0 in Windows 8

Linux will never get those major PC releases. corporations want lock-outs designed and catered specifically to them Microsoft is happy to oblige that, Linux will never support any DRM technology ever HDCP, secur-rom, laser lock, this list can stretch miles and most games use up to 4 different types of DRM. the lack of native DX only makes the already apparent dream of Linux becoming a gaming OS farther away

If you're implying that DRM can't be made for Linux you're wrong. No one has bothered to make DRM in Linux there's no real benefit to it, not because it can't be done.

You're also implying that the developer can't simultaneously make an OpenGL version of a game.

What's funny is that all of those methods you've mentioned have already been hacked.

it'll never happen the Linux community would tear it apart like a pack of starve mad piranha's. the distro would be dead before it ever got to release.

you think just becuase the games Graphical programing language is written in OpenGL it Magically becomes Linux compatible? easier to port sure, but my point was the majority of top rate titles are not programed in OpenGL. for linux not only would the executables and files need to be compatible you would also need to make the graphical API compatible. A huge waist of resources and publisher money.

What's funny is that all of those methods you've mentioned have already been hacked.

whats even more ironic is they were more than likely hacked using Linux.
