EVE Online Drops Linux

February 9th, 2009
On LinuxGames is word that CCP is dropping support for the Linux client of EVE Online as of March 10. This is due to the “low amount of users… did not justify the degree of additional complexity having three operating systems impose on our development and release schedules.”
CCP continues, adding that there is also the matter of maintaining the hardware infrastructure, as well as spending man-hours to refine and test the user client and more factors that have changed their minds on Linux support.
The studio was one of the very few developers who actually developed for Linux. Other notables include id Software and… well, no one comes to mind.
