Re: Linux game console ready to ship
Electronics Arts or any other game company won't port games for Linux
unless there is a real commercial demand. Look up the cost for producing
a modern 3d shooter. It goes up to over 20 million dollars and has
something like a TB of content. This is unlikely to happen without a
huge desktop share leading to a proportional customer demand or some
vendor paying these companies outright to get a good port running.
Sorry, there are no easy answers, here.
yes, it is not possible unless there is a real commercial demand. If there
is any other way to make this possible then there would be a revolution in
the linux demand ( running these 3d games in wine is trouble-some) i also
thought of creating some great emulator, which would make this possible...
(like the dos-box, other game emulators)
Which would enable people to install these games .exe at ease (unlike the UI
in wine) and play it safely
Just an idea
