It runs great on Linux if you have a proprietary driver, which is far from optimal.

  But it has nothing to do with Valve. Personally I don't see what's wrong with proprietary drivers as long they work. You also need proprietary drivers on Windows and Mac OS X.

    If Valve is really invested in Linux, they should be working with the open source drivers' developers to make the game work better on Mesa. For example, I can't play games on Arch Linux because ATI's driver doesn't work with the latest Xorg.

      Valve makes game software not video drivers, you need to email ATI and let them know you'd like your card's driver improved or bye a different vendor's card that has better support for Linux.

        There's an open source driver, they can and should contribute to that. I'm sure they have the resources and the know-how to pull it off.
