right now about 2000 XBox gamers have boycotted EA for their desicsion not to support gaming on the XBox. Keep in mind that there are 500,000 gamers on the LIVE internet based gaming service.

If EA will not bend for this many potential customers it will be hard to get the overall gaming development community to embrace Linux ports.

just for spite, although i don't think these online petitions are worth the time of day, you have to make sure counter-strike (half-life) is on there

so which one should we boycott... valve or sierra? both are eligible, but we can only choose one, and both had a hand in halflife and its mods. im thinking valve, but anyone disagree?

Hi all.
I recently came to the tux side...
I dont run any linux server, but im thinkyng on doing it, like Heretic II, Quake II, SIN, Rune.
I will start in all coop games because i fell that we dont have almost any kind of Coop server...
One thing is for sure "bean me up Scoty", i refuse to start any server for a game, that will not run native in a Linux box...
I will bee good to see how will valve survive without the Linux servers...
