</div>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>

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

<br>
</div>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>

</div>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>
