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.

Linux dedicated server *yawn*

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...

Hasn't this horse been beaten enough yet

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?
