Canonical and Valve have worked closely together to make Ubuntu the best performing open platform for gaming and now the ultimate entertainment platform is fully supported."
But lets say that Valve simply chose Ubuntu and not that Canonical helped Valve to port Steam. Steam is proprietary. Who wants proprietary (devil) stuff to his open-source paradise?
Why should Valve (devil) support distributions that DON'T WANT proprietary software supported?
For those distributions Xonotic is open and available.. I am with the Valve/Canonical devil side and Football Manager on Linux is the absolutely singe one game I was dreaming to see.Last edited by verde; 22 October 2013, 08:05 AM.

Where is the problem?
In the end Steam is proprietary. And as (some of the) Linux community insist proprietary is the devil and must die together with Ubuntu (open-source but supports proprietary stuff) and anyone that the man who eats his dead foot skin dislike.
Get-a-life!
Btw, regarding the problem. Since most programs start in the "C" locale regardless of how the terminal or desktop is configured (i.e my system is set to "sv_SE.UTF-8" but all my C programs still use the "C" locale) these game developers must clearly use some library or other function that sets the locale to that of the system?
Because if I query the current locale I get "C":
Code:fultra@ubuntu:~$ cat test.c #include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { printf ("locale=%s\n", setlocale (LC_ALL, NULL)); return 0; } fultra@ubuntu:~$ gcc test.c fultra@ubuntu:~$ locale LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=sv_SE:en LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= fultra@ubuntu:~$ ./a.out locale=C fultra@ubuntu:~$
