    Title is misleading. They went from RedHat to OracleUL. Too bad they dont do all their games for linux.

    They didn't switch to Linux, they were already using Linux!

    Linux has the cheapest toolchain out there, so it's a natural fit for developers. Pity so few game devs follow through (like id software) and make Linux versions, since so many games are developed on Linux...

    They switched their computers from Red Hat to Oracle, they didn't switch their games from Windows to Linux .

    I would rather see the news where they were making their games for Linux, but that's not it. And won't be it.
