Its in Activision's interests to continue to develop a linux client seeing as we the community provide the servers which they generate revenue from by providing a multiplayer aspect of the game.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Then why do they care about linux binaries at all? If they don't develop for it, why bother to "QA" the binary? Even a blind man could see the reason. <rant off>. I know, not a place for the rants, but every time a patch is released we go through the same old s***. We run the games and ATVI knows it. They really don't care what we think, want, or need. We will run them with what they give us. Simple as that.<div>

It's pretty miraculous that we have linux binaries for our prefered games, and it's not because of Activision interests :(
