Default TWI games on linux??

Tripwire, when the steam client for linux releases later this year, would you consider porting your games to linux? I really hope you do. Then I could drop windows altogether. Hopefully if you do, Killing Floor will be the first game to be ported over!

Linux is great for servers, but bad for gaming. Every single game port I'd tried on linux seemed weird. Let's take QuakeLive for example. I'd played it under both Windows and Linux on the same PC. Under linux strafe-jumps feels laggy, precision drops dramatically and the entire game feels strange. I love linux (using it since Red Hat 7), but lets just face it - it doesn't designed for a serious gaming.

Try HoN and stop saying bs like "it's not designed for serious gaming" because You sound like fool talking about something You have no idea about.

Back on topic I've read some news, about KF appearing in the game release list for the upcoming linux steam client. Is that true? I got the news from the polish ubuntu games site but I can't trace back to the source:

http://www.gry.ubuntu-pomoc.org/kole...ksowego-steam/

Anyone can confirm/deny these news?
