Can anyone confirm if the games will show up on the Steam Linux beta?

• ergo14 14y ago
  This only depends on game makers not, but its safe to assume they will be added once they are on steam and steram goes out of beta.

    It's pretty easy to get around the beta restrictions, you can find links to the Steam .deb (as hosted by Valve) on various sites.

      Oh? I did this, and it kicks me out for not being "enrolled" in the beta. Is there a step I'm missing?
      • ergo14 14y ago
        yeah, launch steam like this: steam steam://open/friends

  Since you can download them directly anyway - it doesn't really matter.
  • rogerbinns 14y ago
    It does matter if you don't want to manually keep them up to date. And the Steam interface is far preferable if you want to install multiple games at once.
    • shmerl 14y ago
      May be, on the other hand it's DRMed. Those who avoid DRM probably don't prefer it.

      They usually offer Ubuntu Software center versions that are kept up to date.

  Superbrothers is the only one that's currently listed in the Steam CDR as having Linux support: http://marlamin.com/cdr/search.php?s=linux&searchby=os http://marlamin.com/cdr/search.php?s=linux&searchby=os

  I know Splice was being tested for linux support a few weeks back last time I was in their office. (Specifically for inclusion in the humble bundle.) so if it's not there yet, hopefully it is soon?!
