I didn't say it was a *requirement*. I obviously can't speak for
Legend or Epic, but what I'm saying is that when I read the comments
by Mark Rein on the forums, he stated his opinion that we should get a
client if we're getting a server, basically in the interest of
fairness.

So what I'm saying is, that one motivating factor is missing from
Unreal 2.

But I still hope someone ports it, or someone "makes it work" in
Linux. And this isn't counting Transgaming, Codeweavers, or any other
Wine-based company like that.

As for my gaming fix, there is LGP; and Sony. Playstations are cheap,
and PS2s are dropping (slowly).
