I still think that games are a preferred commodity to go after than more geek stuff. This is sort of a split between scientific or business market vs. the home market. In fact, both markets are not mutually exclusive. Actually, I think is very hard to sell the merit of games or entertainment to an OS and Unix centered group such as this. It used to be hard to sell the multimedia stuff, audio and video. Now is hard to sell the idea of games. At least there is progress.
