No, I was referring to end user support for the games.
They will need to train their current staff / or employ new ones to
handle Linux support queries. Its just another incurred cost of many.

I'm sure all of the big game companies do in-depth research into what
the gaming population is using. When they think it's economically
feasible for them to start making games Linux compatible I'm sure we
will see more and more games ported. Its not just how many Linux gamers

Develop? No, port. 95% of the code is already portable. All the game
logic and all the OpenGL code. The only "Windows" code that would need
to change would be the start-up UI... which, by the way, was mostly
re-written for steam... hmmm... on second thought, forget about it. The
only things that are still working are the parts Valve hasn't touched.

Everybody I know who left HL and moved to UT or ET did so because of
Linux support. I think the percentage is higher than most people think.
Like many, I do *everything* in Linux except (for only a couple hours a
week and declining) play HL mods.

I think it will be a good few years at LEAST before you start seeing
widespread adoption of Linux clients.

As a business decision it is very simple. How much money will it take to
develop an application on Linux and how much money will it make.

Market share Guff? Not basic business sense then?

It's a waste of developer time.

For the time being I don't think the Linux gamer represents a large
enough percentage of players to spend time and money on, especially on
such an aging game. Use Winex or something.

I can play these games under linux:
  enemy-territory
  ut2004
  never winter nights
  doom3 (not yet, but JC has said it will happen)
  quake3

There is no argument against linux being a viable platform for games,
it's just marketshare guff.  I'd even buy CS again for a client port,
I imagine others would too.  We all also know the steam client works
well under linux aswell.

I'll be realistic - I don't beleive it'll happen.

No.  Fuck that.  Why should I _have_ to?

I can play these games under linux:
  enemy-territory
  ut2004
  never winter nights
  doom3 (not yet, but JC has said it will happen)
  quake3

There is no argument against linux being a viable platform for games,
it's just marketshare guff.  I'd even buy CS again for a client port,
I imagine others would too.  We all also know the steam client works
well under linux aswell.

I'll be realistic - I don't beleive it'll happen.

It ramped up horribly with voice chat, "security" modules and in game
hltv-like-stuff-when-dead-guff.

RE: [hlds_linux] No memoryleak alfred?

2004-03-18 Thread James Sykes
I would rather they didn't _WASTE_ time on a Linux client.
If you want to play games then stick to Windows.

My main concern is CPU usage. Two years ago I was running 8 servers on a
machine that is now having problems running 4.

I shouldn't complain too much, it's a two year old server but where have
all those extra CPU cycles gone? I can't really think of any great
improvements.
