![]() ![]() It might even hurt Linux's chances of succeeding. Any interested user has the freedom to improve the source code.Ĭertainly there is no doubt that a lack of boxed retail games will hurt Linux's popularity. Linux, on the other hand, can thrive as long as there are interested users. Other platforms such as Mac, OS/2, or BeOS need to be popular to succeed, since the pace of advancement on these platforms is dictated by the company that sells the software, and the resources of that company are constrained by product sales. Remember that Linux does not need enormous popularity to succeed. If, however, by "games" you mean "proprietary retail boxed games," then I do not agree with you that these games are necessary for success. What do you mean by "games?" Do you mean the free games that come with every redhat CD? If you count those as games, then Linux already has games, and your point is moot. While I don't want to go as far as Abigail here, I find no truth in your comment that "If Linux is ever going to succeed as a desktop OS then it's going to need games."
