We usually don't report on games, but I would like to make an exception today. Blizzard Entertainment has announced the sequel to what many see as the best realtime strategy game ever made: they announced StarCraft II. The original StarCraft, released in 1998, tops many best-games-of-all-times lists, and has sold over 9 million copies worldwide; it is still one of the most popular online games, despite its age. In fact, in South Korea, StarCraft matches are even broadcast on TV.

Two episodes ago one of the lead developers of Intoversion ( http://www.introversion.co.uk/ ) was interviewed on LUG Radio. ( http://www.lugradio.org/ )
According to him their games were written for mac and windows, which was the major work. Porting these games with portability in mind then to linux was only a small step. Why shouldn't this be the case for starcraft2?
