Given a lot of potential tools like java, flash etc is cross platform; although not the likes of directx, surely linux games could hit the big time? Does being browser based mean porting is easier/or even not necessary?
I don't think it will make much difference, the vast majority of browser based games will be run on Window boxes so that is where the focus will be. Thats not to say that cross platform apps and games wont improve things, I just don't see a huge change.
