I'm more disappointed that there won't be an official Linux release. The 1998 version works fine with WINE so I can still hope that they don't break anything with the remake.
Since it won't even be using a 3D engine (let alone any modern APIs like DX 12) I would think that any tweaks needed for WINE to run it well should be pretty minor.
Using that same logic though, I would have thought that making a Linux release would have also been pretty trivial for Blizzard to do, but given their history I suspect they have a policy of avoiding this.
I used wine for a bit but feel its important to mention warzone 2100 its what seems to satisfy my starcraft urges. At one point i feel that it was more in depth. they have online servers ip play very detailed and still being updated muilti platform.
once I got my head around the game I am addicted to it.

I had to mention it. I too would like there to be a Linux version available for the latest Starcraft. but until that happens I feel this is the best alternative.
note here is a tree of sorts that show what you need to build research to have said weapon or tech. with out this it was just a crazy world where you start playing the computer and all of sudden they have hover then planes and you are like how did they get to that.
