It may have it's own online store yes but it has no community system (friends, game invites, game overlay etc) it's far inferior to Steam.

Quoting: "whizse, post: 6366, member: 126"I guess I fail to see why creating a couple of crappy debian packages for a couple of lines of shell script just to launch the steam executable with a special switch is something to cheer about, or why it needs a github page.

Then again, the omgbuntu page has loads of comments, so I guess it's just me be old and outdated.
For all the people like me too lazy to make the session themselves :p

Well we all have our own opinions on why people are now jumping into bed with Linux and no one is right and no one is wrong until those companies/developers specifically state why, even then it's a question of if they are telling the truth or not which again is down to if you believe them or not....

My personal opinion is that Valve is only doing it now because Gabe is worried about the future with Windows and Mac both getting more locked down he doesn't want his company losing out - Linux is his escape goat - again that's just my opinion. I love Valve and Steam either way though I really don't care.

I also don't see GOG supporting Linux in the near future because of all the bull they seem to spout each time it's asked. They are just a shop without a desktop client so who cares we have Gameolith and Indievania if you want something like that, if you want a client Steam and Desurium fit the bill.

My main point is that it's been talking about over and over, they support us now, let's be happy about that.

Also I spoke with ttimo recently, he's hard at work on Urban Terror HD :)
