| Games. Hi, I dont know an aweful allot about games or how theyre developed really.
But from what I do understand, is that games are developed under certain rendering 'techniques', Such as DirectX or OpenGL (excuse me if im completely wrong), DirectX being run by m$ and OpenGL, well, Open.
Games running on different platforms has nothing to do with the platform, but rather the game, and its compatibility with the platform.
So when a mainstream game making organisation decides to write a game, they have to decide whether to re-write the whole game under something that would be compatible with Linux, or whther theyde make enough money with just the Windows people.
Thus certain games (like Unreal 2004) will run on Linux, as it has been written to do so, as well as with Windows, and others, like most others, wont run on Linux, as the company has decided that there wouldn't be enough of an increase in profit for the effort.
If I am completely wrong, please correct me, or if someone would like to expand/correct on any point I'v made, I'd love to know more.
