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."

    I decide that Steam can run on my silicon.

    Bingo....

    Wife and I were looking at some PC games on the shelf.... we walked over and bough the Xbox360 versions instead.

    Why game on a tiny 24" monitor when we can use the 52 in the living room and the 7.1 surround sound that has 4500 watts and is properly set up....
