For Those Hoping To See UT3 On Linux This Holiday...

That I imagine has more to do with EA acquiring Bioware then Bioware themselves.

It's a bit different from things than that, but you're barking up the right tree there deanjo... Main reason for NWN2 not having a Linux version wasn't Bioware or Obsidian- it was Atari. Remind yourself of that, folks.

this is probably good news, it was like duke nukem forever...

However, DNF is about to be shipping...for real... So you're going to get people hoping...even now. (Sigh...)

Unless they've got a big licensee wanting a Linux version for their UT3 title, that'll pay the money owed to finish it, it's not happening.

There, fixed.

UT3 sucked, so it's not that big of a loss. Now a Starcraft or WoW client for Linux, that would mean something. UT3? Drop in the ocean.

those 2 games run pretty well in wine.

but yeah would be nice, to be "officially" supported

It may seem like a 'Debbie Downer' but is anyone honestly surprised be this? The fact it didn't come out after 6 months, despite promises from Epic and that they've been heavily heading in to console only releases combined with the fact that by all accounts UT3 wasn't actually that good should of told everyone all they needed to know.

I'm sure out there are people with a 3 year old game for Windows which they brought because of Epic's inferenced Linux release. Either they've sold it by now OR played it on a Windows machine.

It's like the old days and SiS making decent chipsets: it never happened.

There was a WoW client for Linux, LGP announced they had been in negotiations with Blizzard and the Client had been completed and was ready to ship and Blizzard canned it. Just google it and you'll find the interview.

Well i'm still hoping we might get the linux port of the engine at least.

The only next UT3 related article I'd like to see is the TRUTH, straight from Ryan's keyboard.

Will Duke Nukem Forever become available for Linux before Unreal Tournament 3?

I believe that UT3 for linux is just using Duke Nukem Forever's development plan. By 2017 it should surface. (Followed by Steam)
