Here, let me take this down to the absolute basics so you can
understand.<br>
<br>
Linux is PERFECTLY SUITABLE for games. Games (IN GENERAL) are NOT MADE
for Linux. WINDOWS is the only platform ALL MODERN PC GAMES are MADE
FOR.<br>

Now, I do have to admit a little guilt in responding here, because I
knew all you guys like to bitch and moan anytime someone comes in here
that doesn't agree with you, but sorry. The reality of this situation
is that you are bitter and want to blame someone other than yourselves.
This is really more like if you called up the dealership, asked if the
car had GPS, told no but it should be released free at some point in
the future, bought the car anyway and then proceeded to complain that
the GPS was still not out after a year. You bought the car despite the
fact that it was missing the one thing you wanted it for, you're the
one to blame in that scenario.<br>

The problem here is that Epic never guaranteed anything. I appreciate
you wanting brand new boxes or whatever your case may be, however that
doesn't change the fact that you bought something that didn't include
the sole thing you bought it for. Can you imagine, taking this same
thing to a more terrible and surely less appropriate analogy, if you
bought a car because someone said it had GPS in it, never test drove
it, and realized after purchasing it that it didn't have GPS in it?
Would you blame the person who told you or yourself for not looking
into it more?<br>
<br>
I understand that people wanted and were expecting and (possibly)
promised Linux binaries and are upset, but, frankly, you DON'T have
anyone to blame but yourself if you paid the money for it already. Did
Epic make you spend that money? YOU were encouraged by what they said,
YOU made a decision, and YOU spent the money.<br>

You are missing the point. When I ordered the game there had been a
statement<br>
by Epic that there would be a Linux-Installer on disc, as it had been
with<br>
2K4. Later they said it wouldn't be on disk, but available on the day of<br>
release. Therefore, as I kind of like to have nice game boxes that I
can show<br>
of, I did not bother to cancel my preorder. The problem is that I
trusted Epic<br>
to keep to their promises.<br>

No I didn't, because nobody promised that Prey would be ported. When it<br>
finally was ported this was a pleasent surprise.<br>

Maybe I have, but then it is not for expecting Epic to make a port, but
for<br>
trusting Epic to deliver the software I ordered.<br>

Maybe it will, after all it's already supposed to be done. The real
question<br>
is, will their still body to play against. Will the engine still be
something<br>
competitive to base your mods on? By the time it will probably take one
could<br>
just as well start writing an own engine ...<br>
