Why is everyone freaking out about this? They're saying it may be getting held up by legal issues (possibly by Ageia and their PhysX Engine: <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=929&num=1">

Yes it would be nice to get a status on what is the actual hold up, but maybe they're silenced under NDA or something. Everyone should sit back, relax, and play in Windows until it comes out :). You'll at least get some practice eh?
<br><br>Hell, keep that copy for yourself, and buy your brother a new copy...just to show support for Epic. The more money they make, the more developers they can hire, the quicker Linux games will become more the norm. I'm sure they won't leave Linux users high and dry...but we're supposed to be used to waiting anyway!
