No Good can come of this
I am really hoping for a rumor, given what Bungie became.

This has to be a freakin joke!!! Better brush up on your VBScript, fools! You'll need it to make new mods in Neverwinter Nights. And you can kiss any Linux versions of NWN goodbye.

It would be using the .NET framework, so any .NET capable language & compiler could probable be used. But mostlikely the C# or VB.NET compiler would be hardcoded on which to use.
There have been some Linux ports for various games Microsoft publishes. Heck there is even a Linux version of Internet Explorer.And you can kiss any Linux versions of NWN goodbye.
But the reason you dont see many linux ports is it isnt economically viable to pay someone todo it.

I much prefer the D20 System, and I probably have more pre-D20 System stuff then and 2 random members of this BBS combined
Where can I get this Linux port? I know there is a version of IE4 for Solaris and HP-UX, but this has disappeared off of the MS website, and would be binary incompatible anyway.ggs wrote: There have been some Linux ports for various games Microsoft publishes.

I hate Microsoft as much as some of the most fervant on this board, but their games division does happen to be one of the best in the industry. Let me put it this way: I'd rather Bioware be bought by MS than those Sam & Max cancelling sons of bitches at Lucasarts.

Word, Lucas can go suck a nut after that move (canceling the Sam & Max sequel). I give props to MS's game division overall, the only division I hold in any regard outside of the Mac Business Unit, but I still hope the rumor isn't true and that Bioware remains an independent company.Arthur_Tuxedo wrote:I hate Microsoft as much as some of the most fervant on this board, but their games division does happen to be one of the best in the industry.
