“One thing Windows has in spades is a gaming community. There is
hardly a game sold today for Windows that doesn’t have multiplayer
capability. (Whether it works is another issue.)”
“The multiplayer component will usually have a chat room where
you can talk online with fellow fans of the game, arrange games and
generally be part of a community.”
“While Linux has a definite strong sense of community overall,
this community is mainly aligned with the more serious side of
computing: programming, development and advocacy. These are all
noble efforts and interesting in their own way, but there is
something enjoyable about kicking back with fellow users and having
a relaxing game of something. There are certain games like
Freeciv that offer an exceptional multiplayer game, but there is
something lacking. Hard to say what, but it just doesn’t feel
right.“
