We the undersigned ask Maxis/Electronic Arts to port the new SimCity game due out in 2013 to the Linux platform. We point to the success of the Humble Indie Bundle as proof of a market for video games on the Linux platform. On average, Linux customers paid nearly twice as much for the Humble Indie Bundle as Windows customers did; demonstrating a demand for video games on this platform. SimCity 5 represents a landmark occasion for a triple-A title by an outstanding studio to support our preferred operating system. Please take our signatures as proof positive that there is a market for your game on Linux.

I love linux, work on linux, enjoy free time on linux, but i also have a Windows partition, ONLY for Sim City ! I bought the game through origin, I just love Sim City since 2000, but i really dislike loosing 15 / 20 minutes to reboot under windows just for enjoying my favorite game, which does not work with play on linux.. Please port it on Linux !
