What if Loki were resurrected?

[lagitus]

What do you think, would Loki games have better chances of survival if it tried again now? Has the market for Linux games grown significantly? Or would competition with WineX eventually kill both?

[saturn-vk]

winex is insignificant. d3d will always be emulated with it, and thus will be slower.
lgp is insignificant, as it only ports games that are more than 2 years old.

if loki or an alternate company is to succeed, it should port games that are IN development, thus getting them on the market the same time with the Windows versions, and it should not order 70K boxes of games when only 7K are going to be purchased.

And the founder of this new Loki should not spend company money buying projection TVs for his wife, instead of paying the salaries of his workers...

We do not want another Lokigames...we want the same developers, but have them get PAID this time ;)

tuxgames is actually an online shop

I believe what you meant was "we have linux game publishing (http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com)"

[u3mike]

Right :P I always get these things mixed up ;)

They're run by the same person and I believe both companies are under the same roof :)
