    Phoronix: Btrfs & Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

    What does the Linux Btrfs file-system and Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game have in common?..

    10 to 1, if there is a binary coming is a Linux server. It nearly always is. However since Source has been ported to OS X one suspects that a Linux port wouldn't be out of the question. One would just question the business reason in that, Linux is a 1% market share and not known for its excellent drivers nor an abundance of gamers. Hard to support and the pay off is low, I still say nay.

        If f-trees are a drop-in replacement for b-trees then btrfs shouldn't have too much trouble adapting them...

          The real question is - is the fractal approach patented? Assuming corps patent even the most ridiculous stuff - I bet it is!

            Doesn't mean much I think. The steam binary has had some code branches for linux since the original articles on phoronix and nothing came from that...

                Believe it or not - we will see a Steam Box.
                ... running on Linux!

                Hasn't Michael mentioned this yet?

                  Even if Linux is just 1% for now (I doubt) when there will be games on it, there will be no reason to use windows or os x. Sadly, this games isn't something I would buy.

                    No Linux client guys.

                    I work at a game company, and we recently met with guys from Steam about integrating the Steam Workshop in a game.
                    And we asked whether a Linux client for Steam would be released.
                    The answer is no. Not enough players, a wide range of configurations to support, each having intrinsic differences...
                    So NO. And NOT IN THE COMING YEARS.

                    Michael, when will you stop with those stupid assumptions?
