Steam Not Coming To Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the put-yer-pants-back-on dept.

dkd903 writes "A rumor has been going around for about four months that Valve was working on a Linux version of Steam and this had a lot of people in the Linux community very excited. But, Valve has now officially killed the rumor. And it is not what people wants to hear – there is no Linux version of Steam in development. Doug Lombardi, the Marketing VP of Valve Corporation, in an interview, has put an end to all the rumors by saying that they are not working on Steam for Linux right now."

    they are not working on Steam for Linux right now.

    This confirms they will be working on it later! I bet it'll be out in time to make 2011 the year of Linux on the desktop!

    As a linux user I will say his "holiness" Richard Stallman does not speak for me.

    It's GNU/Linux you heathen scum!

    A very accurate synopsis! Now, i wonder if you could help me with a definition of the word "pedant." An example of a "pedant" in action may help.

    (I'll take that tongue out of my cheek, now.)
