Linux porting seems to be non-profitable. UT2004 was originally ported to Linux in instant, but UT3 is not. America's Army was ported to Linux, but Linux port support was ceased.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/7 Sir Brizz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sir.brizz@gmail.com">sir.brizz@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

This isn't really true. PC development slagged between 2002-2007 but
there are more PC games now than ever before, IMO. Platforms like Steam
and Impulse have really driven that, I think (proving that there IS a
PC market). You may think they are "consolified" (whatever that should
mean), but I appreciate the quantity (and general quality) of PC games
now. Obviously there is a lot of crap out there, but that's true of any
platform.<br>
<br>
If you wanted to argue that there are very few Linux games anymore, I
would agree with you there. It's disappointing to see so few companies
supporting as many platforms as they can.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

While I absolutely hate to see it; the industry as a whole is moving
away from PC gaming. Doing it for a small subset of a market you are
moving out of doesn't seem very productive to me. I can see a few
genres stay on the PC platform for quite some time, sims type stuff,
MMO, solitaire I guess. Everything else makes more sense to develop
for the console market. There is a standard hardware platform to
develop for, there is a pretty decent( and getting better) deathgrip on
DRM, and they are starting to gain the benefits that was historically
the PC bread and butter ( online play and whatnot. Maybe other shit too
but my only console is a hacked original xbox I use to stream video to
the TV, I don't even play games on it). The people who are computer
smart and want to play games are also the same people who know how to
operate a bittorrent client and probably "in the know" on the latest
tracker.<br>

My subscription to this list has evolved from informative, to
perturbed, to angry, to bitter, to morbid humor. I will never buy
another product from Epic. Shame too, I was the "Unreal" guy at the
office. UT2k was freaking awesome. Linux client, shitload of mods when
it was out ( was one where you fought in fricking hot air balloons that
I LOVED, and a top town aliens type one that was good fun ), tons of
players online all the time, tons of maps ( my fav are rats type maps
). The "Make Something Unreal" contest was sweet. I had a couple
servers running with various mods and maps for awhile and would get my
coworkers to buy copies to frag it up. We needed to test some new
switches so we all stayed late. The IT dept vs Sales in various
maps/game types. I absolutely loved that game. Now? <br>
<br>
Epic can burn down and I wouldn't shed a tear. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
excuse grammar and spelling please. I just got back from the dentist
and my face feels like I took a shock rifle combo. Using alcohol as a
health pack.<br>
<br>
<br>
PS. The IT vs Sales was pretty much even. Our sales team was the only
one I have ever liked in my years in the industry.<br>

sort of pointless to waste the resources on that icculus server if
there's a mailinglist for a game that will never be released, then... I
just want an update, I don't care if the release date isn't posted. :(<br>
