Quoting: STiATAs much as I'd like to see especially games like SC2 on Linux, I'm unsure this is to happen anytime soon. There is a petitition, there is this forum post - and I may even post there, but I don't think Blizzard will ever give us Linux support. I'd say the chance at the moment is 1 %.

It's up to them to prove me wrong.

Well, Newell said (see the GDC interview) Blizzard is a Vulkan supporter.
Why should they support it, if they're not aiming for SteamOS?
If they stick to Windows, they could just stay with Direct3D 12.

Sure, that's not a prove - but a very strong hint if you ask me.

Maybe we see SC2 - Legacy of the Void for SteamOS?
Beta starts in March and Blizzard betas usually take very long until the final release happens.
This could perfectly match the official SteamMachines/SteamOS launch in autumn
and sounds like a good time scale for the GPU vendors to get their first drivers out.

Quoting: 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!

Quoting: 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.
