The Bethesda Blog announces the standalone QUAKE LIVE  client is now available, removing the web-browser interface to this free-to-play online game based on QUAKE III Arena. As revealed when this was first announced, this means that Linux and OS X support for the multiplayer shooter has come to an end. They provide a FAQ on the topic, which explains that no changes are being made to their subscription service "at this time," player stats will carry over, and what to do if your machine no longer meets their system requirements. They also say the QUAKE LIVE website will remain online, but many of the game functions it provided are now integrated into the game client.
