I read the title, and thought, like, «Yay, cool, American government switches to GNU/Linux». Turns out, it's just a game.

Actually, America's Army has been running Linux in many capacities for years.

The real question is... Will it be ported to Vulcan? :P

Yeah let's play a closed source game made by American Army when you are a Muslim and living in a muslim country so next time wherever something wrong happened, magically they will have some evidence to suggest that you are behind the attack. No thanks

Well, seeing as how they're using Unreal Engine 3...not unless they add Vulkan support themselves, methinks. Unreal 3 doesn't get updates from Epic anymore.

When the murderers call themselves *Islamic* State, it's pretty clear who is responsible. No magic required when they're posting their bombings, beheadings, and other attrocities to youtube for the world to see.

No offence, but if you had half a clue about the history US foreign and national policy, you'd think otherwise. It's a long and bloody one.

We will be releasing a Linux server soon, but a full game client will not be coming.
