However we have not seen a similar growth in the numbers using our Linux client.
Now it is no wonder the number of people using the official Linux client remained small. Even more considering that some of the alternative solutions available for running Windows software on Linux did a better job on supporting EVE Online. In any case, it is better to have a clear answer from CCP than remaining in the dark as until now.
CCP Whisper chose his words carefully. You'll note they are not saying there is a drop in Linux users. Just that there is a drop in us using the official client.
So, all CCP are saying is that because we found something that actually worked without their help they don't see any reason to spend money on us.
The poor Mac guys are really suffering at the moment. Silly thing is they could have been using Wine all along same as us.

Anyways, where did you get that? I've been looking for the original and haven't found it.
Got it via Email.
I never got the email either. Which just goes to show there is plenty of people in here that are using Linux that CCP have no clue about.

If I run eve in wine under linux does that show up in your statistics as a linux user or as a windows user?
Pretty clearly Windoze. Whether CCP are bothering to code checks for Wine is not relevant to their statements about Linux usage.
They are focusing purely on the official Linux client figures only.

Next question is will the revamped Mac version actually do the job?
If not, I dunno how long this has been an option but, I can see Wine for OSX gaining some traction in the future.
