Yeah, that was because of Microsoft's company policy to completely ignore LINUX (true story).<br>Gears didn't make it either, it was planned after Unreal Tournament, also by Ryan.<br>What Ryan probably did, was use a technology for porting that he couldn't legally use.<br>
I don't know, maybe there's some Microsoft licensed technology in the engine...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/12/6 Keith Z-G <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keithzg@gmail.com">keithzg@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

going to come out for OSX, but not Linux. But it never even came out<br>
for OSX, did it? Has ANY UE3 game come out for a UNIX-like operating<br>
system? Or one that isn't Windows? Same thing basically, I know, but<br>
different potential causes.<br>
<br>
Okay, I guess Apple's iOS is a UNIX derivative. But not counting any<br>
mobile or console platforms. The official Unreal Technology site<br>
nowadays says "Unreal Engine 3 is a complete development framework for<br>
DirectX 10-equipped PCs, Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3". I think at<br>
very least this goes deeper than just UT3, something is either<br>
technologically or (more likely, considering Ryan's comments and the<br>
fact that the PS3 and iPhone ports exist) legally incompatible with<br>
any OS that isn't Windows.<br>
