C4 Engine Drops Linux Support, Developer Says Linux Is Inferior

WOW! What an 'expert' !

Phoronix got me interested in Solaris. But the automated install was borked.
As a result, I had to reinstall Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. No problems. I only had to
replug my wifi usb adapter back in, to get online. This happened yesterday!
Then I come here and read about some PH.D. nerd can't install linux at all.
I wish I had his pay check.

Speculation: BioShock Infinite Might Be an eON port

Not all versions of UE3 support Linux. Only the newer ones. It was a highly modified engine with various iterations - afaik a lot of companies made their own modifications for their own particular needs.
Borderlands 2 is from an older engine and that was handled properly. Why no just ask Feral or Aspyr to port the mac code?
