As long as they remember this spending more is voluntary and users may
not like it too much if they are then charged more for a Linux version
of a game than say windows or mac version.   Thinking they can rip us
off by charging more may backfire and end up putting all of us in a
worse situation.

Oilrush which is a full mac, windows and Linux game costs $19.99 the
same for each platform.
