Hello all, I have added the e-mail address of the second co-founder of Blizzard, Frank Pearce as well as customer support. Rachel from CS replied to my personal e-mail to Mr. Pearce about supporting Linux and here is her reply; ---------- I’m Rachel R. and I’m a supervisor here with Blizzard Entertainment. I am contacting you on behalf of your recent email to Frank Pearce regarding Linux support. Thank you so much for taking the time to contact us! I’m really sorry to hear that the forums posts regarding Linux have been deleted or locked. It does seem to be a bit strange as that isn’t a topic that our moderators should be closing. I will be investigating this matter with our forum support team. I do recommend posting this feedback regarding Linux support to the Battle.net forums in lieu of the WoW forums: http://us.battle.net/en/forum/ The posts here seem to be more appropriate for a technical suggestions with our gaming platform. At this time with our current priorities and development tasks it’s just not something that we can implement right now. With that said, we are always looking for more ways to include as many players as we can to enjoy our games, so expanding our supported operating systems could be a route for our developers to take, and getting more of the community to voice this would greatly help us develop our future plans for Blizzard. Thanks again for sending this along! If you’d like me to give you a call to discuss this over the phone, feel free to reply back with your phone number and the best time to contact you! Have a great rest of your day Andrew! Warmest Regards, Rachel R., Senior Game Master Mikaelya Customer Services Blizzard Entertainment ---------- I have replied back to her, informing her that Hearthstone could be easily released on Linux given it was made using the cross platform engine Unity. I also mention that if the rumours of Blizzard maintaining a Linux WoW client is true, then it to could be released, As soon as I hear back, I will post another update. Take care all and please keep spreading the word, including on sites outside of North America. Happy Gaming.
