[ut3] Possible reason for UT3 Client delay

[Matthew Clark]

How many times does it have to be repeated.... Ryan is an outside 
consultant. If he is hire to make something and then it is held up by 
EPIC it is not his fault.  I agree with everything but this, Ryan is not 
to blame, look at his work. What reason does he have to screw us? He is 
only a consultant, in no way an official part of Epic or VALVE or any 
other company that is simply contracted to port something for.  I'm 
grateful to Ryan, because he does something I can't yet do myself, even 
if he gets screwed like the rest of us. You think he likes the fact that 
the UT3 linux client hasn't been released yet?
