Default Re: SEV for Linux?

Cross platform compatibility is growing daily for gamers... ya'll should check out SDL as a substitute for directX... yes its missing alot of the new fangled bells and whistles... but then again this is a 4x game... not Doom3 :-)

It all depends on how the game is coded... I don't blame MM for putting out a windows only Version this time around... but I think by the time SEVI is going to hit shelves, it should at least be *nix and M$ compatible. Its not hard at all to accomplish as the libraries to do so are all open source and use the same calls throughout the program to access the lower level functions of both OS's... but switching in the middle of the process would be absolutely painfull....
