I totally understand Its a new game lots and lots of bugs just hope your right here is hopping. But all we can do is keep on asking and showing that there are gamers out there for Linux and are willing to pay. Kind Regards Gh0styuk

The problem is the gamer base for Linux is just too tiny. The peak, when I was doing it around the release of Quake 3, is long gone. There are statistically many more Mac users, and even they don't have a client right now. With luck one day it'll just work (again) on WINE because someone at BioWare has some extra time, SOMETIME, and tweaks/fixes whatever causes the problem. -HM

Linux is not a desktop OS. Sorry, but you're SOL there. The game is designed for Windows, it's time to go back and use what everyone else uses if you want to play what everyone else plays. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Linux, but the reality is that it's a server OS, it's NOT a desktop OS.

Mac + Linux support, go.

Linux is just as much a desktop OS as OSX.

Go on, name one. manufacturers that DO provide support for Linux have to rewrite their entire product just to do so. Again, don't get me wrong, I love me some Linux, but on a desktop level, it is nowhere near ready, and never will be, because it's not profitable enough to do so. A minority of users take on Linux as a desktop OS. It is nowhere near ready for primetime, nor will it be until it receives major support, not only from hardware vendors, but from software vendors as well, and that aint gonna happen.

It is a desktop OS. It's just not a very popular one. Which is why expecting BioWare to work on fixing the bug causing the game to not work on WINE is a bit lofty. -HM
