Thanks google.
I feel any developer who chooses to ignore Linux for financial reasons should be forgiven. Where the culture needs to change is in the big developers, and sadly the game software engineers don't make those decisions - those decisions come from the top.
Further I don't see a problem with using a wrapper - even for bigger games - if it makes the transition easier for developers its a stop-gap that works and should be embraced by the wider community. Anything that helps convince the accountants to go for it!
Over time things will change and such a passionate community will ensure everyone slowly erodes all the misconceptions.
Download the file and listen? Shouldn't be hard to do.

We've talked about this a few times in the past - I'm not certain whether it'll happen or not.
There are a bunch of really valid reasons to not pursue this for as frequent a show as this, with the biggest one being that there's a lot more overhead with regards to editing and producing video content than there is with audio content.
The simple answer we came to is we are going to keep it audio only. As cheese said, an edited video podcast just adds to much overhead. However, should there be interest from listeners to watch a live stream of the show when we do recording that is a possibility. But there will be no edited video podcast.
