Sometimes I just feel that the FOSS community just needs to shut up, bite the bullet, and just be content with the fact that we're gradually receiving attention from big commercial gaming companies. Yes, it sucks you can't modify the source code, but think about it! If we were to steal a HUGE chunk of the WoW player base from Windows then I think it would be officially "written in stone" that Linux is truly a worthy platform for gaming. Then we'd be the bee's knees, amirite?
Hell, just look at Valve's plans for Steam on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/)!!! It's all very exciting and I can't wait to see the future of gaming and whether the gaming industry will turn to open source as THE standard for developing games.
Not trolling, just want to see mainstream gaming on Linux flourish! =)

I'm chilling on Ubuntu 12.04 and playing my favorite mainstream and indie games.
