C’est ce que laisse penser une récente discussion IRC avec Icculus qui doit acclimater le jeu à la banquise:
<icculus> it’s stuck in legal
<augustus> Legal? Seriously? Have you had legal involved in previous games?
<icculus> Not like this, no
<icculus> There’s some issues with middleware
<augustus> so is the hold-up indefinite?
<icculus> augustus: not indefinite
<icculus> augustus: the politics should be worked out for the server soon, I’m removing the offending piece of code.
<augustus> icculus: And the client?
<icculus> augustus: that’s going to take somewhat longer
<augustus> icculus: From the sound of it, there is no ETA then?
<icculus> augustus: I’m not committing to one
<augustus> icculus: I understand. Seems like it’s quite out of your hands.
<icculus> If I told you what the specific problem is, you wouldn’t believe me
* icculus declines to say more. :)
Le port de Gear of War semble lui, compromis:
<augustus> icculus: « Are you doing a Gears of War port? »
<icculus> augustus: for Mac OS X, yes.
<augustus> icculus: Linux no then?
<icculus> augustus: There’s something about a Linux port that the Gears publisher doesn’t like…can’t quite put my finger on it…
<augustus> icculus: I was afraid of that.
<augustus> icculus: Funny that Mac isn’t a competitor but Linux is.
<icculus> I don’t speak for Microsoft, but I assume it’s just company policy to not do anything Linux related.
