    They haven't even ported the server yet, nevermind the game with all its graphical quirks.

    I expect at least another year before work on the client even begins for Linux, if it even happens at all.

    Damn. I thought they weren't so short on programmers any more?

    What does that have to do with anything?

    If they had more programmers they might be able to start working on a linux port sooner. That's what he meant, I think.

    Probably not. There's so many other things that need to be done, and additional programmers start to give diminishing returns after a point.

    The Linux server is being worked on right now. Linux client maybe eventually - porting the server does help.
