Blend Games has a follow-up to
recent reports of Linux users being banned from playing
Diablo III on Battle.net. They cite an unlinked post on the WINE forums from a user who claims to have been refunded the cost of a second copy of the game after being apologetically informed by Blizzard that his initial ban for playing the game through WINE was erroneous. Unmoved by the retraction, the site's hash criticism of Blizzard over this continues unabated.

If only Blizzard had the kind of resources that InXile or MinMax games had, then they could afford to just do a proper Linux port.
But with a small indy studio like Blizzard you just have to take what you can get.
95% of all games do not have a Linux client, and I don't think Blizzard ever claimed that Linux was supported, so why single them out?
And how can people be surprised when their automated cheat detection system finds problems when people connect through an emulator on an unsupported environment?
It's not an emulator. There is a difference. |
