[soon?] Soon Source Engine under Unix????

[whizse]

Don't suppose the beta is LGP related?

Any clues?!

Unless it's something entirely new, you should be able to figure it out by looking at Svartalfs posts

That's kind of my take on it all. And, as I said, I've got other axes to grind- like prepping up for the RC for Caster 3D and a beta for something else.

There?s no Linux version that we?re working on right now.

That's a throw-away press-facing comment.

"Right Now" is literally "right now". It may imply we've been developing in the past and it's on hold while we do other work. It may imply that they have done some pre-work, and they are planning something later.

That's actually softer than We have no current plans for a Linux version.

We'll just have to wait and look for more indication

and a beta for something else.

Woohoo!!!! Duke Nukem Forever here we come!!!!!

just because they aren't admitting it doesn't mean they're not working on it, just because they're working on it doesn't mean they're ever going to get it finished or even release it if they do.

I am sitting on the fence on this one, mainly because you said the same things about AMD's info release for the varying Radeons and the increasing interaction we're seeing with AMD on the work there.

Not that it matters all that much to me- I've got other axes to grind right at the moment. More interesting times for Linux gaming is coming very soon.

It's still coming.

this whole situation makes me laugh.
valve denies the client.
michael insists that it exists.
personally, I believe michael, but the situation is amusing.

Doesn't really mean much since they have now publicly stated the Linux Client isn't coming!

It's still coming.

[liamdawe]

I'm 99% sure this is old news. IIRC Michael even dedicated a whole news-post just to exactly this script, months ago.

Actually the beta was only opened by valve recently, so it is odd they have that in there.
