Gabe Newell: Linux is the future of gaming

Postby Blink on Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:49 am

At LinuxCon, Gabe gave a presentation regarding the future of Linux and gaming:

Newell made his comments while delivering a keynote at LinuxCon in New Orleans. "It feels a little bit funny coming here and telling you guys that Linux and open source are the future of gaming," Newell said. "It's sort of like going to Rome and teaching Catholicism to the pope."


Check out the full article for all the detail, plus a video of his talk.

I welcome this future. I'll gladly switch over to linux once most the software and hardware I use supports it.

I have never even used Linux. But if PC gaming truly migrates to Linux, I'll gladly follow. It would probably be a refreshing change from Windows, even though I'd have to learn how to use Linux properly and whatnot.

We know you cynical sys admins/cheapskates don't play games, so really this has nothing to do with you guys at all. We are after the console demographic, fuck you Sony, double fuck you Microsoft, your day is done!.
