IMPORTANT: Carmack - ID Software abandonne Linux !

""..."""

We are not currently scheduling native linux ports. It isn't out of
the
question, but I don't think we will be able to justify the work. If
there are hundreds of thousands of linux users playing Quake Live when
we are done with Rage, that would certainly influence our decision...

Yes, it is. The codebase is much, much larger, and the graphics
technology pushes a lot of paths that are not usually optimized. It
probably wouldn't be all that bad to get it running on the nvidia
binary
drivers, but the chance of it working correctly and acceptably anywhere
else would be small. If you are restricted to it only working on the
closed source drivers, you might as well boot into windows and get the
fully tested and tuned experience...

Vous l'avez compris ?

-> Pas assez d'utilisateur (Le 1 % ne semble même pas jouer à Quake...)

-> Pas assez d'optimisation sous Linux, et le jeu serait une vraie
daube

-> Windows est la seule plateforme "Fully Tested and Tuned
experience..."

Longue vie à Windows !

Longue vie au code propriétaire !

Longue vie à la Créativité !
