Even on my old system (gtx 550, i7) I get steady 60 fps now, which makes me think if it's vsync :D.

Quoting: neowiz73.... The one aspect of Blizzard that I do appreciate is that they do make it a point to try and make their games playable in wine. ...

That's entirely untrue. There was just a lot of demand for the popular Blizzard-Games (WoW), why the community put a lot of effort there to get it running properly.

I did play WoW in the past in Linux, but I am now in the comfortable position not to need to pay a Company any longer who only puts their titles on Windows, since we do get games here to play - no biggie.

Even though, I still have a Windows 7 image for lan parties, I don't buy new windows only titles. Why? Because I'm stubborn too :D.

If they want my money, they port it, if they don't port it, they obviously don't want it, and therefore don't get it. I'm even tempted with the thing somebody said before: If they don't support us in Linux, just crack it. But I decided I won't become a dickhead and don't pay people for the work they do when I do want to play the game, and in the end, there is no game that I consider worth it.

- Why do you dual boot?
I don't

- Do you see yourself first as a gamer, then as a Linux user?
Linux user

- Are the 1000+ games on Steam and hundreds more on other sites still not enough for you to be a 100% Linux gamer?
Too many, ain't got enough time to play all games I want and which get released.

- If you feel so passionately about Linux that you’ll take questionable actions to defend it, then why not do the most simple thing and stop gaming on Windows?
I did.

- As someone with a tendency towards a specific genre, do you feel the current Linux suggestion doesn't cater to your gaming needs?
Well, MMOs are still lacking, but we'll get SotA.

I stopped dual booting and using wine some time ago.

I am glad to see Linux ports, and I'll support the companies doing them with my money. Despite the fact that I can't stand the "fiddeling" around getting games running decently on wine, and I don't own a windows copy :D.

We're even getting a MMORPG with SotA if that's what you like, and we're getting some nice RTS games in future too as it seems, we have dungeon crawlers like Torchlight 2. I don't see a particular reason to throw my money at companies who produce Windows only Games which are considerable hard to play on linux! Though, I do love StarCraft and always will, even when I can't play it anymore :).

I very much expected this. Though, a hint of a marketshare when they consider re evaluating would would have been nice, I guess we gotta' go with what we get. I still think it is not the best way to evaluate a potential customer number out of web browsing statistics (I think valve could tell them pretty well the number of potential rpg/mmorpg/rts players inlinux).

But the market changes, maybe we will see them change their mind in future. At least they say that they are watching and are willing to re-evaluate in future.

Strange thing, on my "slightly older" machine (550 GTX and i7, 4 years old) I do run the game on 30 fps too.

Yeye, my wife didn't hide the cc, she wanted to play the game too and bought it on her acc before I got home from work, so I get to buy it too :D.

And I do love it runs a decent windowed mode.
