I'm not sure I agree with that at all.
My feeling is more that the Linux community, as computer users are a 
relatively immature bunch. (Not immature as in social development, more related
to technical expertise)
Given the ease (bear with me here) with which a Windows pc can be set up and
running all win32 available games almost flawlessly in full glorious 3d with
5.1ac3 sound, compared to the relative pain and lack of titles for a linux box,
I feel linux has a long way to go in maturing into a viable gaming platform.
As a result of this, I feel Loki had the plug pulled on them prematurely, but
in the current IT environment I can see why it happened.
I don't play games much at all. Perhaps the occasional game of xdigger or tetris,
or even freecell under wine, but I do try to get 3d fps games working under linux
just to point to them and say "There! see linux IS a viable gaming platform"
But it's not. Not yet anyway..
As a daily driver desktop, and ultra reliable server it IS there and I use it as
such constantly.
