Calum:
or maybe those assholes who discriminate against linux users are just a bunch of sorry assed cunts?

maybe they have shares in a certain company and want to make sure that as many people aspossible buy a particular operating system?

or maybe they are COMPLETELY STUPID!!!!!

(just a thought!  :rolleyes:  )

voidmain:
I have a solution. Don't buy Valve products, get something like UT3.

lazygamer:
Still think Valve intentionally hates Linux?

quote:Collaboration.
Other efforts that have borne fruit since the WineX 2.1 release include collaborating with Valve Software to help fix the WineX Anti-Cheat compatibility issues that have plagued Linux Half-Life users for some time. This technology is available immediately to WineX 2.1 users with no new WineX update required.

voidmain:
Yes I do, until they have a native port. WineX is a hack.

lazygamer:
They probably have other things in the pipe, such as the never ending Team fortress 2 and a possible Half-life 2. Sure a Half-life Linux would sell awesome RIGHT NOW, but woulden't that need a shitload of recoding for Linux? Valve may be thinking that Half-life is running out of time, and by the time they get a Linux version released, it will be on it's way to death.

Just because they won't release for Linux does not mean they hate Linux. Heck, they probably use Linux around the Valve offices for some things. Chances are some developers are wary of jumping on the bandwagon... because there isn't enough developers jumping on right now.
