Sorry dude. This petition is completely and utterly useless.As someone who works in the game industry, I can authoritatively tell you there is *ZERO* profit to be made with AAA Linux games (the only exception to this I can think of would be a WoW port to Linux). As a matter of fact, historically, most Linux games put out by publishers were written off as losses.Don't mean for this to be flamebait, but I'm just saying this "as-a-matter-of-fact"
I think it's a great initiative, since many new linux users these days begin with linux as "regular common users" (e.g. ubuntu)Let's continue with it, at least they could give us the opportunity to port it to linux, couldn't they?
I have to agree with Tex, a petition won't do it, Games will be realesed on linux, when linux has say maybe 30% share of the desktop market. Not because they hate linux, but because it costs money and time and resources to port games to linux. its not financially viable
