"To support Linux game development, Unigine Corp. announced a competition: it will give a free license for its Unigine engine to a seasoned team willing to work on a native Linux game. The company has been Linux-friendly from the very start; it released advanced GPU benchmarks (Heaven, Tropics, Sanctuary) for Linux before and is working on the OilRush strategy game that supports Linux as well."

They're getting along just fine.. problem is hardly anyone is developing them. If there were more games for linux then I'm sure more people would move over. But I guess it's a bit of catch 22 over it.
