Of no interest and irrelevant comercialy wise. Time and budget consuming on the other hand so it's of course not going to happen

So long as they don't start developing for consoles aswell I'm not really bothered. Making OFP2 a console game is what made what should of been a awesome sequel into something utterly disappointing.

So if any dev's read this, don't you dare start dumbing games down for the playstation generation.

Because the game would run about twice as fast on Linux, allowing older machines, which would otherwise not be able to play the game, to participate, it would be a fine move. In a similar way that software is simultaneously produced for the Apple and PC market, a cross-compiler would leave very little extra work to do to accomplish the task.

Somebody has to break the logjam, bring commercial software to a reluctant Linux world and unleash the same revolution that overtook the Internet to Linux. This will happen. The only questions are who will do it and when.

Certainly any game would benefit from Linux' increased stability, misery resource requirements, quick booting and exit, security, customization, speed and absolutely free cost.

I'd be satisfied settling with "Works with WINE", versus a native Linux client.

Is it realistic? Probably not. DirectX support in WINE wasn't all that great, last I knew (things might've changed). Toss in the usual DRM mess, and things look bleak.
