Please god no.
I'd much prefer to see development resources spent on additional game content and more PC client improvements.
I hate selfish players. Because this is what it translates into:
Quote:
NO! I don't want my money being used to make other players happy. You should only focus on the extra cool features I want and not what other players want. I matter, they don't.
Far far too many of us want a Linux port for you to dare act selfish about wasted costs.

It's also the downfall of Germany during the second World War and egoism was the principle behind the Na zi party.
Drop the canned responce. Selfishness and egoism are destructive and unforgiving when used together. People forget that they are not the only ones playing this game, and that other Operating systems are in GREAT use besides their own.

I don't think this has anything to do with the game...Or any operating system.
Then you failed to read the entire thread, and why the one line you quoted from me fit into the rest of the thread. You get an F for the day.

Virtual Machine won't cut it, and you know that. WINE also doesn't emulate it properly, and CCP won't work with the Cedega team on improving it.
Quote:
I can be realistic and see what a small proportion of the online gaming players run Linux.
Realistic? There are over 2,000 signatures on a Cedega petition alone for a Linux port. Small minority of gamers is completely correct, but a good chunk of EVE players are primary Linux users. This isn't about advocacy, it's about people not giving the reason "omfg im so00 selfish" when it comes to a seperate group of EVE supporters and players.

I can see the Windows fans now:
"ANOTHER thread about this! Drop it already! It isn't going to happen!"
And they would be correct, this is another thread about users wanting ports to other operating systems and NOT improvement after improvement for a client that already works very well. But they would be incorrect in telling us to drop it.
You will see this topic happen again, and again, and again until CCP makes a native mac/linux port or at least WORKS WITH Cedega to get it running at least 90% of the native speed. The primary windows users may be tired of seeing this and wondering why oh why does this happen so often?
It happens because more and more players of EVE are linux users/mac users, and are stepping up out of the crowd to ask for a native client. Lock this thread, and more will take it's place in the future. In the end, no matter how much the Windows users elfishly whine, no matter how many times the threads like this get flamed because it's an "old topic".... the amount of people asking for a Linux/Mac client will continue to grow and grow.

You guess correctly. But they didn't, so we don't have one. Oh well, it's not the end of the world.

Don't you know anything about DirectX and OpenGL programming? Far too many good games (Doom 3, Half Life, Quake, Vendetta) have DirectX as their primary means of graphical processing, and insert OpenGL as a secondary attribute later on for ports to Mac and Linux, rather than replacing DX. This is not something difficult (I've done it on quite a few low-key games) and is only moreso needing the willpower to actually get it done. Porting is done very often, but the reason holding most devs back is that the fan-base they have refuses to have their money spent on anything else but improving upon their own lives.
Selfish.

Originally by: Jakk Graiseach
I'm selfish and proud of it - always have been.
I think my current sig (Nietzsche) sums up nicely why 'unselfishness' is a bad idea
Let's all be more selfish and stop the 'politically correct' madness that is ruining our lives.
First off, any student of Nieztzche knows that he was also fully aware that selfishness was a downfall to society as a whole if followed by each and every person. He made this evident when he said that others should not follow in his path of thought but find their own. Agree with him all you want, but his teachings still state that if the entire world became selfish mankind would cease to function on a primary racial trait: survival.
Secondly, drop the 'politically correctness' canned responce and accept that some people honestly are out to do the world some good rather than bad. Don't kid yourself into thinking the world is useless, or else you've gone completely against what Nieztzche taught in the sense of NOT following how he believes.

And here I thought it was the allied forces kicking the crap out of them. So glad to hear they fell apart reguardless of outsides influlances.
Don't give me that eyerollingrofl crap, you know exactally what I am talking about. The selfishness of the empire is what caused their expansion to move too far too fast and thus begin to include other countries that would otherwise not have intervined for a few more years.
I'm speaking about the demoralization of that empire internally and on a social level rather than on warfare. The "first pitch" that led to the destruction of it by allied forces.
