[ut3] UT3 Linux Projekt an "Pet" Projekt?

[Kevin Guillaume]

I wouldn't call it a binding contract, but it does affect their image. Ryan 
and Epic seem to be coasting on a lot of good will from something they did 
years and years ago, but which is clearly no longer the case.

Luckily I decided not to buy anything until a Linux client was delivered, so 
I'm just waiting and watching. And all I've seen in 5 months is just another 
one-platform game developer, but one that spews just a little more BS than 
the rest.

As near as I can tell, Epic is full of b**llshit, but they do have one 
developer that's a Linux enthusiast. Yay.

If Ryan truly is the saint that so many here have indicated, it should be 
painfully obvious by now that he's now working for the wrong company.
