The Catch 22 position

Posted by: Edward Macnaghten on June 24, 2004 09:24 AM
Most game software companies will not port their software to Linux because most gamers use Windows, and most gamers will not adopt Linux because most game software writers only write for Windows. It is a Catch 22 situation.


As more Linux Desktops get adopted I believe more and more game produces will port to Linux in order to try and find new markets - after all the gaming industry is one of the most competitive and profitable in the software industry.


Until then though I do not think many games will be released for Linux.
