Hasn't Direct3D picked up popularity and appeal for developers in the last couple of years compared to OpenGL? (especially if it makes XBox ports easier right?) If a Microsoft/media-mega-multinational owned and controlled DRM platform like Palladium takes off, then games on Linux will be a quirk of history.... sadly.
