NWN Linux Client Not So Delayed after All?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday December 15, 2002 @04:41AM from the believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

Sir Joltalot writes "It seems as if the NWN linux client might not be as delayed after all. From the client page: "We have just been informed by Rad Game Tools that they have Linux versions of both Bink and Miles. ... This solves the two outstanding issues with the Linux Client, and I bet we will have even more good news for you in the coming week in terms of future Betas or Demos of the Linux Client."" You'll excuse me if I opt against holding my breath ;)

You notice it lists "3D Realms Duke Nukem Forever"

Makes me wonder what else on the list is imaginary.

I play games for entertainment, coolness, sex appeal, geek factor, etc., but I don't wish to spend an hour tweaking stuff just right so I can play on GNU/Linux.
What? I thought running stuff on GNU/Linux was the epitome of cool and sexy! I'm sure if I had a girlfriend she would back me up on this...

"I wonder how many other [projects] have been delayed because the developers didn't bother to ask anyone if there were already wheels out there while they tried to invent their own."
Happens at my company once every month or so.

I'm glad to see you also decided to wait for the Linux client.

Anyone else find it just a little cheesy when a for-profit corporation is soliciting donations?

Maybe they're taking their cues from Mandrake?

So if we all download it 10 times they are more likely to bring out more games on Linux :)
