At This Rate, Don't Be Surprised If You See Steam Soon
,----[ Quote ]
| Just a few hours ago we reported on the
| progress by those within the Phoronix
| community working to get the Steam client
| running as much as possible based upon
| Valve's Steam Linux binaries that are
| inconspicuously housed on their servers. By
| making some modifications to the Steam
| client binary and libraries, as of this
| morning they are up to the point of
| displaying the main Steam UI window. Just
| hours after that, the Steam Friends' UI is
| now being partially drawn along with other
| windows.

The State Of Mac And GNU/Linux Gaming â By Wolfire Games
,----[ Quote ]
| The present is also much better then 5
| years ago and we see constant improvement
| each year.
| I very much agree with Davidâs post,
| specially about the fact that most
| GNU/Linux ports came way after the original
| Windows release, which harms the sales and
| in many cases lowers the game âworthâ (if
| the port is made several years after the
| Windows release for example, and yeah it
| did happen many times).

Stepping in the right direction. Some games adopt GPL later.

Investigating The Steam Linux Client Continues
,----[ Quote ]
| The Steam Linux client still appears to be
| heavily in development, but the real
| breakthrough came on May Day when members
| within the Phoronix community managed to get
| the Steam Linux client running up to the
| point of showing the log-in window. This
| came after several independent enthusiasts
| were tracing the calls made by the closed-
| source content delivery program and making
| modifications to fix certain issues to get
| the client running further along.
