There has been rumours and not much else about a Linux port of Halo. Now that Microsoft hold the exclusive distribution rights to Halo (correct me if I'm wrong) surely the chances of you being able to produce any future Linux games or provide licenses to companies such as Loki for such a port are zero. Okay - so no definite decisions on what platforms Bungie will provide for have been made, but we already see some signs that competing platforms such as the PS2 are off limits. Will Linux join the ranks of the untouchable for Bungie?

Yours in fear,
