Expert Opinions On Linux Gaming's Future 411
jg21 writes "Following
on from yesterday's Slashdot coverage of the idea to launch a games-based Linux
distro, LinuxWorld Magazine has held a Gaming Round Table involving Chris DiBona, Ryan
Gordon, Timothee Besset, Gavriel
State, and Joe Valenzuela about where Linux
currently stands and how it will one day become a premier gaming platform. 'It
became perfectly clear to me that most of the technological issues are already
solved, and that the others won't take too long to fix once the game publishers
really get into the mix,' reports Dee-Ann LeBlanc, Gaming Industry Editor for
LinuxWorld, who coordinated the round table. Well worth reading."

The Solution. (Score:2, Funny)
Release the Linux version for free.
Game makers still make all their money, the windows folks out number the linux folks by a huge margin. But, never underestimate Joe Windows-came-pre-installed's wanten need to save a buck.
Also, for the game creator this brings much geek love. Geek love is ofcourse the best type of love. If only women could learn that lesson.
So game creator X, you have a raving band of loving geeks? What do you want to do with em?
