Most of the grief being given about the Linux Bin and these delays are aimed
squarely at </span>Treyarch and Activision as we all know Ryan can’t do squat
till they give him the source code and once he’s done he can’t even tell us he’s
done.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>CoD isn't the only game they support. He also has a
life... I am sure when he took on these projects, it wasn't with the intention
of sitting a computer 23hrs a day either. If it wasn't for him, we might
not even have Linux version available. You do tend to get more with sweet
honey then sour milk. Would you be motivated to do something when everyone
simply complains? I also do programming and I put the gracious people
ahead of the others. I do tend to hold out on the whiners. I am not
saying he is doing it, but it isn't motivating him either.<br>
<br>
As a note, it is always better to start and finish on a good note. People
tend to remember the beginning and end more then the middle. As a rule,
it is always best not to be negative at all, focus on the positives and let the
reader know your needs.<br>
<br>
"Ryan must really be busy or he would have resolved this already.
Perhaps he needs a tester or some debugging reports.... A bit sad it takes.....
He does a great job, I would assume the issues are with EA, hopefully he can
get them resolved...."<br>
<br>
Has anyone offered to be part of the solution? How can we help you fix
this? What can we do to make your job easier....<br>
<br>
A quote: "If you are not part of the solution, then you
are part of the problem."<br>
<br>
I am quite surprised he doesn't moderate these lists. If it were me, half
would have been filtered out and the posts removed for unprofessional conduct /
language.<br>
<br>
Good luck...<br>
