Linux

[KoKuToru]

Programing on Windows is ugly.
It's so much easier to write stuff that runs on Linux/Apple then to write stuff that runs on Windows.
Write the game for Windows - DirectX.. and it only runs on Windows (if we wouldn't have wine)
Write the game for POSIX-based system + OpenGL and it will magically work on Linux/Apple/Windows.
So why write for windows only ? Why use DirectX only ? Why limit yourself ?

But as I said before.. DirectX is the devil. Give me an OpenGL switch and everything is fine.

Checkout Blizzard.
Why do their games run with DirectX ? Oh well good question.. most of them have an opengl-switch !
But who ever bought a game and checked for "Does it use DirectX ?"

Who cares if it's DirectX or OpenGL ? Do you ? Same graphics.. same peformance.

But I as Linux-user care! I need/want OpenGL

we have it working in linux, and hope to make it even better.

Working is good.. GT430 or GTX460 doesn't matter, same speed (ArchLinux)
It's hard to get more than 15 fps... (newest wine version)
But yeah it's playable.
But yeah I hope 2.0 doesn't destroy my linux-gaming-world.
Because I have no windows and I don't want to own a closed window.

it wont come to linux just because 90% of people wont know how to use it

And these 90% know how to use windows? Good joke.

What they know is .. put in DVD
Install game by clicking on Setup icon.
Start the game by clicking on the icon.

Okay did you ever use a new modern Linux-system .. with gnome or kde ?
How would it work there ?
put in DVD
Install game by clicking on Setup icon.
Start the game by clicking on the icon.

Oh .. somehow how the same..
