Linux will always remain our choice, but we just have lost faith in the increasing lack of support from the software houses for Linux server files (COD series is the tip of the iceberg).<div><br></div><div>I think we are very very lucky to have Ryan on our side, and I know we all appreciate his efforts. Without him, would we have any support at all? I doubt it..<br><div><br></div><div>So when CODMW2 comes out, we'll be running it from Windows from day one. At the end of the day, we can't afford to miss out on the business. When new games come out, its the best moment of making some money. If it does port over to Linux, then we'll run it from there.<br><div><br></div><div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Oliver Warburton</div><div>Managing Director</div><div>INX-Network LTD</div><div><br></div><div>INX-Gaming.com</div><div><a href="http://www.inx-gaming.com">www.inx-gaming.com</a></div></div></span> </div><br><div><div>On 30 Sep 2009, at 17:15, Marco Padovan wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Our commercial department proposed another solution:<div><br></div><div>offer cod4 gameservers (on linux) at half of the price until cod6 will be available on linux... once it will be the cod4 servers will be back at full price (and as usual users will be able to switch to any cod linux version they want)...</div> <div><br></div><div>will see what to do... but getting windows boxes up is a pain! :(</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 11:07 PM, JOKER-MOBILE <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joker@mycallofduty.com">joker@mycallofduty.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">RudeDog from fpsadmin was at the IW community event (console) and did dpeak with Jason West about some PC things.<br> <br> Get those windows boxes up guys<br> <br> JOKER-MOBILE<br> <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Marco Padovan <<a href="mailto:evolutioncrazy@gmail.com">evolutioncrazy@gmail.com</a>><br> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 2:01 PM<br> To: <a href="mailto:cod@icculus.org">cod@icculus.org</a><br> Subject: [cod] CoD modern warfare 2 - linux binaries...<br> <br> As usual a new episode of Call of duty is near...<br> <br> As usual all us, game servers providers, do not have any news/announce about<br> the possible release of linux binaries...<br> <br> So nobody here still know if we need to get windows machines up on the first<br> day or if we may just wait a few days more and come online directly with<br> linux binaries...<br> <br> To whom can we ask at least for some consideration so we can PLAN how to<br> SUPPORT the game?<br> <br> (an answer like: we need 2 more months after the game release to be able to<br> support linux dedicated servers would be a good answer too... so we can make<br> our choices (get windows machines up on the first day... or maybe make<br> pressure on our clients/gamers/league admins so they keep playing cod4 and<br> do the switch alltogheter once the linux bits are available.... the point is<br> that we need some consideration :'( )<br> <br> <br> </div></div>[The entire original message is not included]<br> _______________________________________________<br> cod mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:cod@icculus.org">cod@icculus.org</a><br> <a href="http://icculus.org/mailman/listinfo/cod" target="_blank">http://icculus.org/mailman/listinfo/cod</a><br> </blockquote></div><br></div> _______________________________________________<br>cod mailing list<br><a href="mailto:cod@icculus.org">cod@icculus.org</a><br>http://icculus.org/mailman/listinfo/cod<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div></body></html>
