Doom 3 Demo Available

Eh? I have plenty of sense.
I'm just glad i'm not one of the poor saps who shelled out $50 for the game when I thought it would be good.
Now that I know it's crap, who cares?
Carmack, stick with rockets!
Excuse me, I don't mean to impose, but I am the ocean
They'll release them in a few weaks, and although DooM 3 uses OpenGL alot, some things are hard to port, like the heat wave which uses DX9, that'll take some time. Meanwhile, I'm just as anxious as you are, so I'm playing it with Cedega.

I say screw id if they are gonna wait this long for Linux binarys. I think most people got the idea the Linux binarys were going to be out very soon after the game actually came out. I had all the money I needed to go and buy the game when the game was released, but no Linux client. I'm not going to wait around for them like I did with bioware for neverwinter nights(that only took a freaking year after purchasing the game and then was a shoddy install at best). Waited 1 week for id to come out with linux binarys, they didn't so I got winex cedega up and running and fired up bittorrent and grabbed myself a copy of doom3. Got it up and running and beat within 48 hours and now I'm not going to buy it when they do come out with a Linux a client. So ID and any other company out there, RELEASE YOUR LINUX AND MAC CLIENT WITH THE WINDOWS CLIENT, I'm not going to pay for a version of a game for another operating system, and I have no moral issue with pirating your games if you treat me like a second class customer. I'm sure many other people have done the same thing and I think that's exactly what any company deserves who waits months after the release to finally get the client out there and to people on other operating systems they said they would have a release for.
...or not.
