We the undersigned would like to see native Linux installers for the products of Electronic Arts Inc. It is only fair that EA's products designed for Windows should be made compatible with Linux as well, especially due to the popularity of EA's released products (Madden Football, Tigerwoods Golf, Battleforge, The Sims & etc.).

The computer world is about choices now. Not everyone wants to be stuck with a Windows or a Mac. Some people use Linux, BSD, and other OS types.
It is also suggested that perhaps the installers be released with open-source code, to adjust the installers to other various systems (BSD, Solaris, other distributions of Linux).

The installer should be in a .run file, and require the user to have already bought the product (hence a CD detection)
EA's games are hailed as some of the most influential games around, and it is about time that companies start adopting the business practices of id Software.
