[ut3] Possible reason for UT3 Client delay

Back to my points:
 - If this is a ut3-server list, rename it.
 - If this is an aptly named ut3 list, put news and announcements and updates on it.

I think most would agree that it's past time for an update.  A list with no information,
no updates, no news, nothing but desperate players, is ... useless?  rude?  poor
customer service?  Who's getting the slap here?  Ryan?  He's getting paid, K?  Epic? 
Nope, they made their money.  We're getting the slap, and it doesn't take much looking
to figure out who's giving it.

Tact doesn't work, either.  I've been on this useless list for enough months to see all
sorts of tactics tried.  All I've seen is * like you trying to stop gamers like me from
asking where the * game is.  Oh, and rumor-mongering, which has been ever-so-productive,
and the stupid video of whats-his-head from Epic saying that the Linux client is kind of
a pet project and if it gets done...  "If" is a long way from the release-day promises
that the Linux client "would" get done, isn't it?

Let me be ~more~ clear.  When people ask me questions, I answer quickly and accurately.
 I expect the same courtesy.

Where's the Linux client?  What's the hold-up?  Will it be done this year?  How much
time is being logged on it?  Is there any way we can help?  Where do we go for regular
status updates?

I buy Linux games, not Windows games.  I use Linux.  Not Windows, not Mac, not console.
 Just Linux.  Peace, otherwise, and unsubscribe me whenever ready, because I'm not going
to get more subtle.  This is crap.
