This is a very interesting turn of events... For which I'm actually thankful. I appreciate someone from Epic Games to actually step up and if not be very verbose at least tell something about the client. Which is actually very appreciated.

Thanks!
Sorry, but until something more concrete surfaces, these are empty words for me. We've all seen promises from various vendors promising linux support in both hardware and software only to see it never materialize. In fact most of the time they will point to a FAQ that says support was anticipated for linux years ago.

oh, how things change, now UT3 is the second coming, and Epic rullz Linux gaming...
Now we hear that "there's no news to report" was a complete lie, as WarTourist stated "Work on the UT3 linux client most defintely is progressing,..", which would have been great news for everyone asking in Epic's forums.
Still, just to support their Linux-sales, I'll get the game as soon as there's a stable client.
WarTourist, can you tell if there'll be an (already patched!) Linux-demo?

We are currently working on a linux UT3 client that players will be able to use with the retail Windows version. As soon as it's available we'll announce it here.

But that's exactly what the FAQ says!
A little bit of honest delta in things with a mea culpa on the delay would go many, many miles in the PR department.
I don't understand why people didn't believe it there, but believe it slightly differently worded version here .

All in all, I've been of mixed opinions on this. I'm none too happy about the amount of delay or the mishandling of the situation by Epic. Them coming in here and saying, 'Hey, we're still working on it!' helps their position some, but they've hindered themselves with the poor handling otherwise. Right now, I'm willing to talk with them and POSSIBLY consider buying the title- but for right now, it's just little more than the time of day, metaphorically, from me.
