OK, I'm thinking of going back to Linux again, but unlike the last time I was using Linux, I've gotten back into liking games again.
Are there more than like two commercial vendors that are even considering supporting linux?
Right now I can think of ID, and whoever makes Neverwinter Nights. Especially now that Loki has gone down the tubes.
And no, I don't consider TransGaming as counting, as all they seem to do is try to get Windows programs working under WineX.
At one point I didn't really care - but now, I dono - has the outlook for Linux gaming gotten ANY better in the last like year?

Last time I checked they wasn't a Linux client, just the server.

WineX really isn't bad at all, it gets the job done in most cases ;)
