MaximumPCMag managed to interview Gabe Newell of Valve, and he talks a lot about some very interesting things.

It interesting to hear that Blizzard will support Vulkan, but it’s still unlikely they will bring any of their games to Linux before our market share rises significantly.
It's an extremely exciting time to be a Linux gamer, and hopefully Vulkan will come through for us as a performance king.
Ps. If you want Blizzard to support Linux, see this article. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: KristianQuoting: GuestGot to love Gabe, that choice of words "I work at Valve" just shows he isn't an arrogant prick (am I allowed to say that word here? )
For any typical businessman it would be "I'm the co-founder and CEO at Valve"
Gabe for president!

I totally love how Valve came up with lots of great stuff at this GDC.
In particular that they didn't tease (better say hype) those things upfront.
Way to go.
I bet it will be similar for HL3.
BTW, that interviewer is amazing. He basically didn't move for almost 6 minutes.
That must be an enormous compression ratio for the left half of the video. :D

I am currently playing the free version of StarCraft 2 (ever since it got the free version) through WINE (works 100% perfectly) but if it gets a native port then I'm gonna buy it instantly + all expansions + other Blizzard games that get ported. Blizzard produces top-quality games and we need that on Linux! I'm sure that the big majority of Linux gamers will buy their games.
Also about Valve... well.. Valve just keeps being more and more awesome \m/. Great job at GDC.

Quoting: peteQuoting: kalinQuoting: keikiI don't know about Blizzards road map. But some days ago Blizzard requested a petition on their forum instead of using change.org regarding Blizzard games on Linux.Liam please make article about this petition. Not everyone read comments.

It was tasteful, so yes, I will allow it. I thought it was cool of him to say it too.

Quoting: Gabe Newell... if other engine manufacturers see stuff in it [Source 2 engine] that's useful for them, well, they can integrate it into their own engines as well.
I am in love with this guy. He is truly one of awesomest game devs in the world.
