This will hardly change, back on my hard GNU/Linux days I came to realise that the gamer/demoscene culture and UNIX culture are totally opposed to each other.
The gaming and demoscene cultures don't care 1 second how much their tools cost, the openess of hardware and software tooling, rather the achieved results and getting their stuff on the hands of users, regardless how.
The GNU/Linux culture is all about the ideology of having stuff for free, replicating a desktop experience as if CDE was the epitome of UX, fulled with xterms.
Of course I am generalising and might get tons of counter examples, just noting my personal experience regarding friends and co-workers.
