Valve Software Linux Server Boycott

[theblueman]

Don't shoot the messenger


from the site:
"When you sign this petition, you agree to possibly boycott Valve Software by refusing to run a Linux dedicated server unless they give us Linux native clients of their software. Long live Linux Gaming!"

As much as I would like to see Linux beat the crap out of Microsoft I won't be boycotting Valve.

I don't think it says "don't buy HL2", but it is saying "don't run your linux server until they give us a linux client". So buying the Windoze client is perfectly OK, right? Just make em suffer with the Win servers? Is that what its saying? :afro:

"you agree to possibly boycott Valve "

Let's force companies to work harder, even though they have enough problems already.

Seeing as people are entitled to tell others what to do; I guess I'll have to stop.

How does this help things? Valve isn't going to port HL2 to Linux so get over it already :/ They would also have to port Steam to Linux too. And a bunch of other shit. It's simply not feasible. Just run linux servers and maybe you'll convice some newbie windows users to try linux. Windows really is a big peice of shit. And it's only getting worse as of late. First spy-ware! Now MS-ware! Woot! Everyone line up and get your office 2003!

anywyas.. petition = gay. Go port the leaked source if you're so damn desperate

Petitions never have a warm reaction therefore I'm putting a stop to this now. If people want to sign it, follow the link. I doubt you'll get many hits.
