On the other hand they will never do that but if the game uses open GL it can run on Linux pretty smoothly. | ||

If you're using GNU/Linux just to be hipster. then don't bother using it at all. There is nothing hugely different architecture wise to support your statement at all. Like both Windows and Linux have pretty comparable experiences for gaming if companies supported Linux in the same way as Windows. Its people saying stuff like this that just makes me mad at Windows fan boys for being so bloody stupid. And Linux users aren't hipsters either thats mac users :D | ||

You may not be like that but many are. | ||

Linux is a general purpose operating system. It's for anything anyone damn well feels like using it for. Also, the very mighty Valve seems to disagree with you. | ||

I think most people who wanted to play SC2 on Linux have already purchased it and either emulate it through wine or have a dual boot setup. I don't think there's many people sitting on the fence waiting for native support. It'd be nice to see more devs supporting linux (like valve seems to be getting ready to do), though... | ||

DONT SAY OPEN SOURCE - SAY FREE SOFTWARE! Open Source is a bullshit term, it doesnt really mean anything, it can be the exact opposite of what people mean by using those words | ||

Instead of saying "yeah, just use Wine", more people should be yelling at Blizzard for native support. I'm hoping that with the boom in Linux gaming from the humble bundles & Valve bringing Steam to Linux (rumoured to be sometime this year), that momentum will give Blizzard enough reason to port their games. | ||
