Unreal Tournament 3 GNU/Linux client installer

To:  Epic Games

This petition promotes the release of a GNU/Linux installer for the 2007 PC game Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) by Epic Games (Epic).

We are PC gamers who choose to run the free operating system GNU/Linux. The current release of UT3 will run only on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Epic earlier stated that the game would be available for GNU/Linux (and Mac OS X) but at this time there has been no such release.

We believe that a release of UT3 for GNU/Linux will benefit not only the GNU/Linux gaming community, but also Epic themselves, by increasing their market beyond Microsoft Windows users. We believe that the GNU/Linux gaming community is significant enough to demand such titles and with no technical limitations we are aware of, there is no reason to not release such PC games titles for GNU/Linux.

We thank Epic for releasing previous titles in the Unreal series for GNU/Linux and hope that they continue this trend. We also urge other PC game developers to follow the example of Epic and ID and release PC games which are not tied to one operating system.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
