I guess you could call "acknowledging that browser-based games will work in linux" as an interest in linux.

yeah i guess someone should be interested in linux, so the rest of us don't have to

Ummm, they just took games that already worked on linux and advertised them on a linux app service. That's hardly supporting or looking into linux, just basic marketing.

Given the the average Linux user would rather run over hot coals than give EA any cash, I suspect this won't go any further either..

Seriously, *if* this whole Linux game thing begins to show even slight bits of progress, all Microsoft has to do to stop it is buy NVidia. That would single-handedly derail and stop it completely, reason being that no one else can produce decent video drivers for Linux.
That's a pretty good idea actually.

Publishers barely see the point in making games for Windows.

It's nice to see Linux getting some love, but from EA?
Not sure if gusta.

Yeah, a publisher whose recent record includes publishing lots of titles by independent studios and encouraging their in-house studios to work on original games is fucking evil, I get it. Sure wouldn't want them slapping a "runs on linux" sticker on some shitty javascript and calling it a day.
At least they aren't releasing multi-platform shit in Python or whatever shitty scripting language everyone in linux land is beating off over this week.

They just need to release their own distro: leanux.
