We don't get native Linux clients, Valve doesn't get servers.
| Number | Date | Prefix | Name | Country | Do you want Valve Software to make Linux native clients of their games? | Do you run a Linux server for one of Valve's games? | Would you willingly halt the server service if you do? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 661 | 5:52 am PDT, Oct 21 | Matt Hollier | United Kingdom | Yes | Yes | Definately | |
| 660 | 1:29 pm PDT, May 12 | Kirk Hammond | United States | Yes. Having the option of running a free OS would be great. It would also lower the cost of building a system by a few hundred bucks and bring in more gamers | Yes. I run a few myself and have helped others run theirs on linux. | Absolutely not. I appreciate that there is a linux server available. And while I would like a linux client available this type of protest discounts the work already done to provide us with a linux based server option. Without this we would all either run illegally to host, or pay for another windows license to host. I support your cause, but your totalitarian methods of trying to get valve to deliver a linux based game client will cause more harm than good. Show valve that there is money to be made with a linux client, and it'll get made. Threaten holdouts and you risk losing the linux support already provided by them for servers. | |

| 658 | 8:02 am PDT, Mar 19 | Mr. | Stephen D King | United States | I would like to see not only Valve software but Blizzard as well to be linux-native. | No, but I was thinking of running a quake3arena server but after seeing your thread I decided to hold off until some companies took action to include linux as native client. | N/A |
