Bull.
Epic (Or whoever it is that makes Unreal Tournament now) Has included a fully functional installer for all versions of UT.
Bioware has provided a Linux installer for NWN.
id HAS ALREADY provided installers for other titles AND HAS PROMISED that Q4 would be available on linux at release.
I think the author's gripe about the need to download the installer is perfectly valid. There is no reason NOT to include the installer on one of the CDs, other than laziness.
Granted the majority of product demand comes form the windows platform, but's no longer as valid a concern as it once was.
Had they done their jobs correctly, the only step needed should have been to run the installer from the CD (or possibly copy it to the HD first)
