Simms began using Linux when he was at university in 1992 and has been writing and contributing to open source software since 1993, having a strong belief that operating systems and file formats need to be open source in order to make computing competitive.〔(A closed source company’s CEO’s view on open source ) Linux Game Publishing Blog, June 29, 2009 (Article by Michael Simms)〕 Between 2000 and 2001 he also worked at Wcities in London as a Lead product architect.〔(Michael Simms’s Experience ) Linkedin〕 Simms was a beta tester for Loki Software's Linux ports of ''Civilization: Call to Power'' and ''Descent 3'',〔(MobyGames, Descent 3 - Linux beta testers )〕 and it was in response to being unable to order versions of Loki's titles from any British reseller that spurred him to create Tux Games, one of the first online Linux game stores.〔(Bringing Windows games to Linux ) TechRadar, 10 August 2009 (Interview by Graham Morrison)〕 The website went live ten seconds after midnight on 1 January 2000, selling its first title on 3 January.〔(LGP History pt 2: The Early Days ) Linux Game Publishing Blog, June 23, 2009 (Article by Michael Simms)〕 In response to Loki's demise and the effect it would have on Tux Games, Simms invested £350,000 into a company porting Windows game titles to Linux. Linux Game Publishing was founded on 15 October 2001 to port and publish new games for Linux. Simms remained the CEO, as well as the Head of Development for over a decade.〔 He likes to play Majesty and other strategy games.
