Valve Pushes Out Half-Life For Linux

[Spectre]

I have the big box GOTY edition. Can you only play it if you bought it digitally?

4. Many Linux users outside of the US are running setups with hardware that is several years old, ...

What are U talking about !

For those that can't look up/down:
Do you use a Locale that separates numbers with commas instead of points?
In the half life config m_pitch "0,022000" needs to be changed to m_pitch "0.022000".

sed -i 's/m_pitch "0,022000"/m_pitch "0.022000"/g' ~/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/config.cfg

That reminds me of

$ LC_ALL=C seq 0 0.5 1
0.0
0.5
1.0
$ LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 seq 0 0.5 1
0,0
0,5
1,0

Awww

I guess it doesn't like Xubuntu and AMD?. I clicked Play and nothing happens. =(

Edit: nvm it started after a restart of Steam. =p Runs great!

Hopefully this means HL2 and Portal and coming soon.

...and CS:GO, CS:Source, L4D2.... I maybe tired of waiting but good things should come of this! Go Valve!

Dear Valve, stop using flash please it blows.

Any way to buy it without Steam?

This. If it was available outside of Steam, then it would be worth looking into. But as it is, eh.

Congratulations to Valve. Going to buy Half-Life then.

YES! Thank you valve, this is awesome.

I think that valve doesn't want people saying "well why should I get the steambox, when less than half of my huge steam library runs on it", so they are working on at least having all *THEIR* stuff in there properly.

For me, btw my linux games/all games ratio is 33/100.

It has been a good day. Have to admit I like these little surprises Valve puts out. The sudden open beta of TF2 Linux port gave me the same feeling; they sure know how to make a gamer feel good :P

YES YES YES YES YES.

My body is ready.
