Please support Linux...

Please do not forget about Linux. I would really want to continue playing your game after I move to linux next year when I won't be forced to use Windows but it is impossible since you do not support it and the game has horrible problems running on Wine. I understand you emphasize new patches now but after you patch the game enough please make version for Linux. Your game is my the most favourite strategy game and it's going to be a little painful to say goodbye to it...

Uhm, I doubt it'll ever happen. How many linux-only gamers are there, that would only get the game on linux? How many months will it take to get the game to a point where "50 bucks" will be the right price for it for most users are pre-order users?

Not going to happen. They're not going to allocate resources to re-write the game using OpenGL.

I'm going back to MS-DOS. Please make a compatible version. o_O

Now seriously, unless you prepay thousands of copies that justify such expense (supposing that they could afford to do it anyway), the answer was/is/will_be: no. I see easier Stardock migrating to SectApple stuff than Linux.

Funny thing is, if they port it to Apple, it wont be long until Linux (Mac OS is derived from a unix variant).

Just WINE it. The fact that it doesn't run (at least, as of 1.08) all "that" great in Windows means that it won't run that great through Wine either ;) 

You could always try Wine 1.3 and see if that gets you further.
