Valve confirm no current Linux Steam plans

Valve has ended speculation over a Linux port of their Steam games system, with marketing VP�Doug Lombardi telling GamesIndustry that the company is not working on a version for the open-source platform. �Rumors of the Linux build began in earnest back in May 2010, when several unreleased Steam Linux binaries were discovered; these appeared to be undergoing active development by Valve themselves.


“There?s no�Linux�version that we?re working on right now.” Doug Lombardi, Valve Corporation
At the time, despite the public identification of the binaries, Valve made no move to hide or remove them. �The company subsequently released Steam for OS X, bringing the service to Mac users, but has made no official comment until now about potential development of a Linux version.
