I guess that the statement that they can play is arguable. To do it, the 
player (even capabale and willing to go as far as tweaking kernel 
options, which alone may be a showstopper for the game to be called 
playable) should get aware that the issue they are having can be solved 
this way. IMO such level of involvement effectively means that a user 
who is not technically advanced and not perceiving troubleshooting Linux 
specific issues as a part of game play just can't play it.
