Tim Sweeney (crying): "There's no future in Linux gaming. No! Stop it! Stop enjoying the good thing that isn't from me!!!!"

I can't find it now, but back in the late 90s Tim Sweeney tried Linux / KDevelop for a week and, if he liked it, would make games for Linux. It was on Slashdot if I remember correctly.

It went fine, but some features like hot code swap weren't available like they were in MSVC. I see that he's still moving those goalposts.
