BTW: at the moment i've MANY cod:waw dedicated servers UP and RUNNING
on linux boxes ... and honestly they are even working decently ;)<br>
<br>
The problem is that I cannot use it in this way as our custom
infrastructure to do installs, start, stops, rcon, customizations and
so on is not that easy to be ported into an emulated/xfree
environment...<br>
<br>
so actually i've to manually set the servers, manually start, manually
stop...<br>
for the customers that means higher prices because we have to work a
lot more and be available all the time the users need a restart or
similar things...<br>
<br>
And no... I'm not interested in tcadmin just because activision prefer
windows servers :)<br>
<br>
We spent a lot of time and skills building perfect servers, getting the
best we can out of linux kernels, low latency, special io&threading
schedulers and so on... why shall I offer a crap service </font></font><font

the same objectives?)<br>
<br>
It has been in this way with all the call of duty games... and I think
you should undestand how people start feeling seeing everytime the same
thing happening...<br>

Do you feel better now? That you have said this?
<br>
<br>
And, to continue on a serious note: How does Activision control your
business? Your marketing strategy should adjust to changes, and should
not depend on choices made by a developer.
<br>
<br>
If you, as a company, chose to not support windows because of just a
license issue, the whole marketing and financial aspect of your
services has failed before it even started.
<br>
<br>
I'm sorry, but none of your arguments make any sense.
<br>
<br>
That said, I do agree however with this anonymous sir/madam regarding
communication. That would have been nice to make a prediction, and or
adjust accordingly. But even then, looking back at the past.. this is
most likely not going to happen, and thus a non argument.
<br>
<br>
I'm so sorry to say this.. but, this is trying to put the blame
somewhere else sir/madam.

if they say: you will not see a linux binary in the next 6 months...
ok, I can live with that and will try to move all the people to other
games...
<br>
<br>
the problem here is:
<br>
<br>
we do not know if we will get the file soon... that stop us as we don't
want to spend money on crappy winblows licenses just to have the
binaries 2 days after having the servers sent to the datacenter...
<br>
<br>
we just need an estimation... that would be enough!
<br>
<br>
so we could at least do our math and make our choices... instead we are
here... depending on activision that it's not just ignoring linux
servers again, again and again... but it's not even giving us some
usefull information!

It's getting about time that we are going to get the files, or at
<br>
least get a note on when we can expect them.
<br>
<br>
All of us have been quite silent the last week about, and waited
<br>
nice and calm.
<br>
<br>
But the game is now going to go loose, the Europe release is
there
<br>
also and that means lots of gamers online.
