- authserv, on 08/20/2008, -0/+5Sure glad I didn't foolishly preorder UT3...
- Stevenator, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4UT3 was a disappointment anyway.

I think that is a fairly clear indication that there will *never* be a UT3 Linux client and that Epic are just going to keep pretending that there was going to be one to the point that no one even remembers UT3 existed let alone a Linux client. And well past the point at which game returns would be allowed.
They have also been deleting the posts from their forums on the subject.
So in conclusion ***** Epic, if your going to drop support for Linux do it properly rather than trying to ***** over people who brought copies of the game on preorder or shortly after release, as they where told there was going to be a Linux client.
Even if the client is released tomorrow its to ***** late, no one is on the servers any more (although maybe a few hundred Linux users would boost the numbers).
I know Linux isn't a huge market, but it is now up to around %4, and its probably higher for people who game since they are generally more computer literate and likly to try new things. As long as %4 of your profits is more than the cost of a Linux port you have a duty to your share holders to do so.
I hope Valve is serious in their Linux efforts.
