I have never really used Linux much. But one point comes to mind:

Have you ever seen a linux game for sale at any major software retailer?

Just go to the Linux section in Fry's Electronics. I know for certain that they had a boxed set of Quake on the shelf. I picked it up because I was so curious, and sure enough the Linux system requirements were there.

My take on this is that the market is small for Linux. But if it doesn't require much more effort to release a REALbasic game in Linux, why not do it? At the very least, you can post your announcement on Linux lists and get traffic that you would otherwise not see.
