[quote who="Zoomba" reply="13" id="2011688"]The core point remains that developing major game for Linux (along side of a Windows version) is a big undertaking unless you're on OpenGL from the start, with a lot of financial unknowns.

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="1" id="2011151"]1) In addition, I think the "free" points are pretty valid. Most Linux users are in a world of their own, and even though they will point out to no end that they really don't mean "free" as in beer, they mean "free as in freedom," truth be known they'll turn away most stuff that isn't $0, whether the source code is available or not. 2)No, it's the weakest. Forums and IRC channels don't count. I'd hate to teach my father how to use IRC.

Very funny... i am a Linux user and i use Sins on Linux... I have Win Xp pro x64 too but there, i am limited to 4 gb ram and only 1 core... using the game on Linux, i have game who have reach the 10 gb ram, something impossible on Win... i use a virtual processor ( 10 ghz ) to boost sins speed in place of 8 core at 2.66ghz where sins use only one of them... More, i can on linux use my bios "discrete MTTR allocation" who work only for linux/unix system with more of 4 gb.
