Unreal Tournament 3 Will Be Available On Linux

It’s been assumed for a while that Unreal Tournament III would be available for Linux, but it’s now confirmed, thanks to a forum posting by Epic Games’ VP Mark Rein. I have to say, Epic is one game developer that has a clue. So many companies shun alternative operating systems like a plague, but Epic embraces the fact that everyone has different tastes, but everyone wants great games to play. Kudos to them for never giving up on non-Windows operating systems, even when sales numbers are not likely uber-impressive.

Mark Rein is the VP of Epic Games as well as being their forum administrator. He had stated earlier this week: “We’re a multi-platform company folks please come to grips with that. We like the PC. We like the 360. We like the PS3. We like the Macintosh. We like Linux. We will deliver UT3 for all of these platforms and it will rock on every one.”
