From what I understand its not even an option. Just like porting IE over, its so intertwined that it would be difficult to (not impossible). IE9+ cant even run on XP.

That's changing the argument (Although, it's equally far fetched. Who is going to pay enough to pry away a cornerstone of the Windows foundation? all those linux companies awash in money? Apple or Google - MS's chief competition).

You said "in order to stay afloat." Which implies that they are or would be sinking and needed the money. There is no reason at all to believe that to be a near-term possibility.

I know, but PS2 intends to run for a long time. its just an idea and I'm not going to argue over the plausibility because it's incredibly far-fetched but remotely possible given, say, 3 bad releases of Windows in a row to the point where the last good release is no longer supported.

>>is it worth paying out for a linux/OSX port alone? probably as in definitely not, but probably as in definitely is the only way i'd word it.
because this scenario has DirectX being available on OSX.

It's 50% yes 50% no/other! Not bad even though it's only a small number! 8)
