It's nice to see that at least some game developers care about other platforms and using crossplatform technologies like SDL and OpenGL. I don't know why so many game developers fall into the trap of DirectX which then only works on one platform. DirectX 10 is even worse, it only works in Vista. It is also nice to see that OpenGL is getting stronger again. And I also see much more interest in using a common open standard format for game assets exchange. Just check out Collada. I just hope this all means better times for us Linux / Unix gamers.
