HI Charles, Thank you. I'm glad you understand my point-of-view. As you said non-Windows users need games too. We have been left out for far too long and I intend to begin changing that by making more games available for non-Windows platforms while maintaining some degree of support for Windows as well.
I think everyone who uses Windows should try and imagine this. Let's use an unrealistic but hypathetical situation where all the major game devs whent out and baught Macs and decided one day they are no longer going to create games for Windows. If they wanted to play new accessible games they'd have to buy a Mac computer. I'm sure they would be upset, disappointed, and perhaps feel a bit slighted that their operating system is no longer supported at all. Well, that's kind of how I feel when games aren't being made for non-Windows platforms like Linux. I see all these new great games being made like Time of Conflict, for example, or Philip's new game and the only way I can play them is to spend extra money for Windows to play them. I can't choose a version for Linux specifically which would make me more inclined to buy them. Mind you, I'm not wining or complaining about this, but just explaining how things are. Since I am a fully qualified software developer with at least 12 years experience I'm the perfect person to begin developing non-Windows games. I've got the time, experience, skills, and the desire to do it regardless of financial motivation. That's why I'm doing it. Cheers!
