An e-petition is being started invoking all Linux users to request VUGames
and Blizzard Entertainment so they port World of Warcraft to Linux.
Blizzard has been known in the past for their support to PC and Mac users
with hybrid games. The aim of the petition is to have a PC/Mac OS X/Linux
hybrid. Sam Lantinga, developer of the SDL API and ex-employee of Loki, is
known to be Software Engineer of World of Warcraft since 2001. Among his
duties in Loki was to port Mac games to Linux.<br><br>
World of Warcraft fans are hoping that the petition may encourage VUGames to
fund the project. Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Neverwinter Nights, Return to
Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory are among the games that
have being ported to Linux by other companies. Knowing the wide-reputation
of Blizzard Entertainment, it would be a boost to the Linux community to
have a MMORPG of this calibre. NVidia has Linux and FreeBSD drivers, which
confirms that the Linux platform is becoming fastly a Gaming market.<br><br>
