It is the tie-in to the OS technology(DIRECTX) that is keeping them from being run large scale on Linux. So Ubuntu, RedHat, Novell, etc.. should indeed try to impact gaming development just as MS did when OpenGL was the prevalent standard and they decided to publish a set of libraries and an API so gaming devs would lock themselves into MS.

They simply have to SUPPORT gaming in Linux by establishing Linux gaming Leagues, sponsor servers, sponsor clans, and the like. A little work in this area would go a long way towards establishing the fact the Linux IS a gaming platform.
