Yay! I got flagged!
Well, I believe soon all Valve games will run fine on Linux, since they ported the whole engine anyway.
Also there are a couple of AAA games already partially or completely ported, and it is just a matter of putting them to work properly on Steam (sometimes what lacks is legal stuff). For example Doom series, and some of Unreal games.
Of course, games using any of those "great engines" are easy to port too (ie: any game using idTech and family or Unreal and family).
- jiggy2011 14y agoSadly there is no idTech5 or UT3 engine on Linux and AFAIK there are no plans to port them.
- speeder 14y agoBoth have partial ports to Linux. I don't know why UT3 stopped (and if you ask icculus, he will get mad at you). idTech5 stopped because crap driver support, but now with Valve pushing ahead to fix that, I think id can resume work on Linux idTech5 if they wish to. EDIT: Actually UT3 engine DO work on Linux (and icculus that did it!) http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI1ODE http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI1O...
