[cod] CoD modern warfare 2 - linux binaries...

[kanta]

I would be surprised if there will be Linux files for MW2 at launch. I 
really feel sorry for all you game providers depending on linux 
binaries. Hopefully I run only few servers for my clan so I can go with 
win* for a while. But you...dunno, I wouldn't like to be in your shoes. 
Thing is that this situation repeats over and over again and it sure 
will happen again for some future release of (insert game name here). 
Maybe, one day they'll start to appreciate this community/market too. 
Until then - best luck with binaries and resource hog(tm) adaptation.
