[ut3] Linux Client or Bust

[C N]

Why is everyone freaking out about this?  They're saying it may be getting
held up by legal issues (possibly by Ageia and their PhysX Engine:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=929&num=1).  If that's
the case, the release could be awhile.  Yes it would be nice to get a status
on what is the actual hold up, but maybe they're silenced under NDA or
something.  Everyone should sit back, relax, and play in Windows until it
comes out :).  You'll at least get some practice eh?

Hell, keep that copy for yourself, and buy your brother a new copy...just to
show support for Epic.  The more money they make, the more developers they
can hire, the quicker Linux games will become more the norm.  I'm sure they
won't leave Linux users high and dry...but we're supposed to be used to
waiting anyway!
