While I don't find it ridiculous having to wait for a Linux port (as long as it is a good port), what I do find ridiculous is the complete lack of communication in regards to the status.
Personally, if someone wants my money for me to pay for their product, they better not treat me like dog feces. Sorry if that offends anyone here, but if all you do is beg for scraps then that is all you will ever get...
I think it is fairly obvious which companies are "dedicated" to Linux and "alternative" operating systems.
Just look at iD Software - they released the Linux version of ETQW not only in a relatively short timeframe, but without the "troublesome 3rd party component". Which if you ever did any research on that title, you'd notice that this is a positive result for endusers and negative result for iD; because it is the in-game adverts. Yet iD still was willing (and did) release the game anyway. Go figure.
I won't even get into who opensources their tech/software, or ask you to imagine what it would be like if the original UT was opensourced.
