Just wanted to post a comment to say I'm very impressed about how you manage to continuously stay on top of the Linux gaming news, Liam.
This site is rapidly becoming *the* site for Linux gaming enthusiasts.

Cryengine is the single most interesting engine for upcoming games imo. That engine is capable of some *insane* visuals.

Will be bought for *sure*, even though strategy is not my favourite kind of games.

My favourite FPS multiplayer game *ever*. Hands down, even.

So needless to say, for me personally this is one giant milestone in the timeline of Linux gaming (assuming the client comes to Linux too, of course).

Quoting: AnonymousBut *others* can be only other EA Studios. Frostbite is not available to external studios.
That's an EA business decision.

Ahaaaa... Daaamn, I wasn't aware of that! Thanks for that essential titbit of information.

Quoting: AnonymousI think it's safe to assume that Frostbite runs on Linux already (internally).
However, history told us that this does not necessarily mean it will become available to the customers.

Yeah that lil' detail totally changed this picture entirely.

Oh man I was not aware that the Linux drivers were *that* comprehensive. Had I only known this when I bought my current keyboard, a Logitech G710.

Thanks for the review, now I am almost hoping my G710 will get broken soon... (except I don't, it's too expensive for that)!

Quoting: neffoThe actual quote:

This quote were in the article Liam referred to as well (on this site) and is what we do discuss here.

QuoteWhat he is saying is they want to be a part of Linux because if it gets a "Halo"-level game it will take off. They are not saying that they want to be the Halo-maker, they are saying they want to be there when it happens so they can be a part of it.

I agree, that's what he says. But isn't this just a technicality when they first and foremost is an engine maker? So if they make the engine available for this platform, *others* may then make the "Halo" game for this platform.

Add to this the fact that their main competitors - Crytek and Unreal - are already ready with their Linux versions, I'd say it is a pretty safe bet to assume they are doing the same. It's not confirmed, and it can be just talk, but I think there's realistic hope to be found here.
