Will we ever have games like CoD PES2011, etc in our linux pcs? I dont understand why Game Companies dont look at us like potential buyers of their products... Ive bought Cod4 for Windows, now that Im a linux user, I would buy it for linux too... Are they ignoring us?

The reason there are no games on Linux is the same as why there are hardly any on Mac. There just isn't enough Linux users for the developers to be bothered with. They wouldn't get enough money to make it worth the while.

True, but if i were a developer, I would cover 100% of users so I can make more money (Personal Opinion)

It costs money to port games to different platforms, so if they think they may not get their moneys worth, they're not going to do it. ;)

The game companies do not create the games for linux because maybe 2% of gamers use it.

they have now created Steam for Mac OS X and i'm sure that will have lots of games that will run on Mac OS X.
