I would like to state my opinion on the possible Linux client.
A company like this would have no problem developing a Linux client and they would have only benefits from it:
- more people playing and buying the game
- no additional maintenance
- no need to release a client for every distributions out there, just do a “bin” or an “sh” file that everyone can install and let users figure out how to resolve dependencies (if there are any).
- less posts like this, more community sanity!
I don’t see any disadvantages, so just do it ! Let people be happy !
