[ut3] Client?

[Eric Jackman]

The lesson should be to pre-order from the proper retailers.  If you
purchased the game from tuxgames.com you wouldn't have been charged yet,
you wouldn't have a useless game on your shelf, and epic wouldn't think
that your purchase of UT3 as a completed transaction. An incomplete
transaction is potentially market pressure. Providing that the developer
(Epic in this case not Ryan) cares.
