[ut3] Disturbing info from a Ubuntu forum post

[Dean Loros]

I'm a log-time Ubuntu member & have been following the "problems" with 
UT3 from before the "release date". I am one of the people that 
pre-ordered UT3 almost 8 months before release based on the "rumor" that 
UT3 was going to have a Linux client...That is not my beef--I realize 
that I took my chances & have up to now lost the cash---My trust in Epic 
is the other thing that has been lost....I'm glad to see that Ryan is 
still in there with us, but I read this post today on Ubuntuforums & am 
starting to feel like Epic is not giving the straight answers.....Post 
note complete follows:

Ok, heres whats going on with the linux port for ut3. I work for nvidia 
and have been in touch with epic over the last few months about ut3 and 
the possibility of shipping copies with certain graphics cards. I've 
made mention that, if a deal like that should happen, that we would also 
want a linux port to ship with the game. I have been told repeatedly 
that linux client has been scrapped and that, at this time, there is no 
interest whatsoever in resuming that project. So once again, linux users 
gets screwed. For those of you that feel the need to express your 
disdain for this, I suggest snail mailing epic at the following address:

Good Luck


All the best,
