Where did you see that figure. Since COD 2 was released I've only
seen a few linux servers show up in the scans. I'm genuinely
interested where the numbers come from. I do have an open mind and
will admit my mistakes.
Another aspect is that IW and AV makes money off selling the game,
which is Windows based (Aspyr develops/sells the Mac port). Sure,
you and I can see that if they supported Linux 100%, that the servers
would get upgraded and they would sell more copies of the games, but
do they see that?
I wonder how often AV has thought about moving to a business model
more like Sony or EA Games for their servers. That would be sad day
for all the users, but it could happen. $1.6 million per month is a
figure I heard that EA Games makes off of just BF 2 servers.
