Re: [ubuntu-marketing] How do we encourage game developers to work with Linux?

Hello: I don't think that you are never going to get mainstream game developers to support Linux because they are in the business of selling the games, not giving them away. Also if they did release binaries for the major distros, they would still get attacked for not making them "open source".
