Steam for Linux has been floated a few times starting int 2010. A few days ago Phoronix posted some information about how far Valve has come with producing a Steam client for Linux, including showing a port of Left for Dead 2 running natively on Ubuntu.
Today I spotted this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/04/canonical-in-touch-with-valve-to-ensure.html?utm_campaign=Feed%3A+UbuntuVibes+%28Ubuntu+Vibes%29&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedburner
and this made me wonder... are we (as a project) also approaching Valve in some official capacity to ensure that this Steam for Linux client works "perfectly" on openSUSE too?
Gamers are a huge driver in the adoption of technology, and a market segment we can't really afford to ignore. If this Steam for Linux client is released and is dependent on some library that is built only for Ubuntu, or is only released in DEB package format... well, we WILL be left behind in the rush.
I was thinking of trying to touch base with them. However, I'm not confident our devs would even allow the Steam client into the repos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
