Steam on Linux might be coming
http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?si ... 7&from=rss
The left 4 dead demo includes a few linux based libraries and a mention of 'steam linux client' which, when you remember Valve was hiring a programmer who's job would partly be to port Windows games to Linux, implies a lot...
What'd be cool is if they put their own custom build of Wine in there to run non converted games.

Shit that would be fucking cool.
Re: Steam on Linux might be coming
L4D and all recent valve games are DirectX only.
Linux can't do DirectX.

Or they could just get them ported to OpenGL. Or run a DirectX emulator.Originally Posted by Koobazaur

Or they can just say "Hey, you know what? PC. Choke on it."
Re: Steam on Linux might be coming
Linux is run on PC's, and you're disregarding the evidence here.

Honestly I don't care, I just felt like being hostile. Since Steam came out and I don't have to worry about doing all my own patching or keeping track of cd's or dvd's, I couldn't be happier.

They better, WINE just doesn't work well for me. I swear Steam games are the only reason I'm dualbooting XP.
