John Carmack On Rage & Doom 4 For Linux

[yogi_berra]

Any recent news on rage/doom4 and linux ?

Rage uses steamworks, Doom 4 probably will as well. Figure it out.

Rage works well in Wine, which is a credit to id's programming team

That should also mean it'll be an easier job porting it to linux when someone gets around to it.

Sadly, 'PC' means Windoughs, in this context.

"pc" generally means windoze - as in "openarea is available for pc, mac and linux"

That's for setting up multiplayer games right? The Mac version of Rage shipped without MP, supposedly the same could be done for a Linux version.

Well, Michael has confirmed that steam is coming to Linux, so steamworks can't be far behind...
