the bbc? its normal flash iplayer is drm free, its iphone streams are drm free. Personally i prefer to have control over everything i put on my computer instead of some faceless company.

“The files are mpeg4 or wmv but they both contain encrtyped data, they will expire after a certain date, its stupid and i shall be uninstalling.”

WHAT!!! because of that, name any other content distributor who offers a catchup service without DRM for FREE!!!

Thanks, this is probably the best option available to those of us eager to try out the new theme, but without virtualization hardware.

@Robin..

Steam is already ported to Linux. Has been since day one. It’s used as the content engine for server distribution. There’s no UI component, but that would hardly be a huge challenge.

And how are they going to sell it? Or we will see the first Linux game on the shelves?

Good to see that iD and Epic have been helping to plant the nasty L word into the heads of game company suits.

That’s the thing, Robin got it right because ID and Epic both support Linux for their game engines if Valve wants their products on their platform they have to make it Linux compatible.

Even if the person was pretending to be an employee of Valve, I do know that the linked Valve job website is legit and that page has been up for awhile.

I don’t know about porting orange box. First they would have to port steam which could be a huge job.

Eventually Valve will want to expand to multiplatforms as Steam grows both in users, and in game development companies (id, epic…)
