Quoting Island Dog,

The last data I seen was that Windows has about a 90% market share, 6% for OS X, and about 1% for Linux.  

Wow, really?  If I'm not mistaken, Linux used to be pretty much neck-in-neck with Apple.  Of course that was before Apple's relatively recent big-time marketing push.

The assumption has to be that each group of OS users uses w3schools equally.  It could just mean that WinXP users need more help than their Linux counterparts

Elemental is a Windows game. MacOS is not supported.

Anyone know ark fatalis? That game had recently its source code released, under the GPL3 license. Now fans of the game have started porting efforts that will among other things, bring over Ark Fatalis to Linux natively.

Why doesn't any Linux/Mac games developer make an Spiritual Succesor to Elemental for those platforms?* Valve? Blizzard? Any of the "locals"?

Even if Stardock were to diversify in the near future (where "near" could be "no less than some years" as far as my total ignorance about the topic goes), right now there seems to be no real reasons for them to go beyond their Windows scope, despite Linux/Mac fans not agreeing with their reasons (as in many many many many times and threads mentioned already). Even less to release the source code (as in also mentioned like a lot of times too...).

You know, you don't have to release the source code if you write something for linux. It all depends on how you license the software. There is software out there that is closed, and for linux. Just FYI.

I know. Just mentioning the usual petition made of Stardock releasing the source code.

I'm sure I've mentioned it in other linux thread, but anyway. Latest EWoM runs fine* on latest wine so its all not as bad anymore.

* Well, there are some glitches with 3D, and fonts are weird to the state of near unreadability, but overall its playable and almost does not crash
