Every few months or<br>> so, a new round of questions about the possibility/improbability of the client<br>> ever being released starts up on the mailing list (archived here:<br><span>> <a target="_blank" href="http://icculus.org/pipermail/ut3/">http://icculus.org/pipermail/ut3/</a>), but there is no official response.</span><br>> <br>> Like many of
the people on that list, I purchased the game only because a<br>> linux client was said to be coming. I've done this with other games in the<br>> past, even ones I never thought I would play much, just to support<br>> companies who were investing in native linux builds. It's pretty disconcerting<br>> to have Epic seemingly ignore the situation and the continued questions<br>> from customers. I know my one purchase won't make much of a difference<br>> to your bottom line, but it's going to be hard for me to want to purchase<br>> anything from Epic in the future when this is the kind of treatment any sector<br>> of the customer base can expect. Can you give us any sort of update or<br>> reason for the ~3 years of silence? As before, if I need to direct this<br>> elsewhere, please let me know and I'll send it to the correct dept.<br>> <br>> Thanks for any help,<br>> <br>> Lloyd

client? I purchased this game within a few days of its release because I<br>> believed a linux client was forthcoming, but obviously there have been some<br>> delays.<br>> <br>> I am thankful for Epic's continued devotion to offer linux games, and look<br>> forward to other titles in the future. For whatever reason, the<br>> communication regarding this topic has been extremely limited; it's a little<br>> disconcerting from the viewpoint of the customer.<br>> <br>> Could you let us know whether Epic reads Ryan Gordon's UT3 Linux mailing<br><span>> list (<a target="_blank" href="http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-cgi?64">http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-cgi?64</a>) and consider</span><br>> committing to some periodic updates (even if they only say "it's still<br>> coming"). The silence from Epic on this issue has led many to believe that the<br>> linux client has been abandoned or that
the linux segment of your customer<br>> population has been forgotten.<br>> <br>> If this is the wrong venue for this request, please let me know and I'll direct it<br>> wherever would be best.<br>> <br>> Thanks very much for your time,<br>> <br>> Lloyd Taylor<br>> <br>> <br>> <br><br></div></div>
