@jkmcnk @eevee up until Doom 3, all their games had Linux builds.

@jberg @jkmcnk @eevee idTech 4 ran on Linux as well, but only the games released before the acquisition got Linux releases (Doom 3, Quake 4, ET:QW, Prey). Even the later BFG edition of Doom 3 (which is a lot of the same code AFAIK) snubbed Linux.

@SnoopJ @jberg @jkmcnk @eevee I think all of the Linux ports of their early catalog were solely due to the efforts of @ddt .
