But it will.
You as well might be sure that it will be there. Heck, you might even know that cause you work on it etc. But unless you can give some reliable source of information this is actually useless and qualifies as a rumor only. And should be presented as such.

The thing here that gets me skeptical is the fact that there is no actual meat in this code. No X11 or GLX calls, nada. Companies like blizzard have had wine 'sandbox detection' present for a while now in games like WoW and StarCraft II (they can detect they're running under wine).
This code may be a similar sandbox detection routine, so that developers using tech similar to Blizzard's Warren (eg. : punkbuster) wont banhammer Linux users trying to play legitimately.
Theres one good thing that noone can deny about this code though: They acknowledge that we (Linux gamers) exist, and in number enough to warrant not completely ignoring us (if only in the wine 'sandbox').

Did anyone in this thread consider they might be waiting for the OS ATI drivers to catch up?

today you can play ut3 on linux with wine if you have openGL3.3+
and this makes an port very easy today!!!!!! but 3 years ago wine also can not run ut3.

As the following been discussed? Ok, so even if Valve were to commit to Linux, that would mean only a small number of games (source and others) would be native. Would the Steam client then have to be able to call Wine to run the other games, or would the user have to have two copies of steam running, one for native, and one for wine games? Seems like a pain in the ass.
