Perhaps Slashdot should be keeping quiet about this, rather than broadcasting it.
It's a little scary hearing someone saying this, and specially so nonchanlantly (no offense to poster specifically, intentions seem good). But this comment is basically suggesting the censorship of information. isnt that what open source software and freedom of speech are so against?
simply because this news may perhaps not be great for m$-alternative software [we dont even know what kind of impact this release will have], doesnt mean it should be held from the masses [and slashdot readers arent exactly the masses anyway].
personally, i started out with more user friendly distros such as mandrake and red hat. we use red hat at work because it offers the strengths of gnu/linux [dont wanna piss anyone off;)], but its easy to maintain despite transitioning between the different admins that we have coming and going. and i still keep a copy of it installed on my laptop. again because its easy to use, and it gets the job done. i'm interested to see what all this talk of convergence actually amounts to. anything that offers an alternative to m$ is at least worth checking out, in my book.
ok, ut2k3 will have native linux client and server support. this seems good for linux.
the game only supports nvidia based cards [ati too?] this sucks. it shifts the monopoly problem from one company to another.
however, if ppl interested in linux gaming support dont support this game, it will be a clear message to game publishers that the linux community doesnt want games, and they cant make a profit off of us.
for this reason, i plan to buy this game. but wheres the best place to buy the game. id rather not support the big companies such as gamestop and ebgames which are indifferent to linux support.
tuxgames (http://www.tuxgames.com)games seems to be a better place for linux gamers to give their money away to. any other linux specific sites that are selling ut2k3 or other linux games?
