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.

Because I'd have to support it. That would mean multiple distros, etc. on my lab machines to support, what seems to be a very small market. You're right, getting it to work would probably be not too bad, but the long term support and marketing seems problematic.

But perhaps the ratio of Linux users to Linux game buyers is very high? Maybe they are a market starved for cool games?
