[ut3] [UT3] Linux-Client

[fain]

Its not Ryan's fault. I bet its Microsoft's fault. They do not want to 
see Linux succeed and if it had gaming it would and they see this so 
they pay company's like epic to not develop for Linux. I mean all the 
good game company's left Microsoft bungee and others. all they have now 
is epic(aka gears of war) Windows live is just going to kill its self 
any ways. I own gears of war and i will not pay for a stupid gold account.

I have learned my lesson from this though. I will never buy a game based 
on a promise again. Waiting on savage 2

Sorry about my rant.
