Comment on It's Official: Valve Releasing Steam, Source Engine For Linux

Comments

Phoronix's source seems to be from the Telegraph.co.uk's article[1]. While I don't doubt Valve will release Steam for Linux, I'd wait for the slightly more official statement before declaring it's official.

  [1]: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7715209/Steam-for-Mac-goes-live.html

What's more, the second source cited is basically a copy-n-paste of the Telegraph article.

Phoronix can pretend to be a reliable primary source all it wants, but it's questionable stuff like this that makes its reporting a complete joke amongst the X and DRI/Mesa development community.

I've had a similar impression. There's more than one time I've read a Phoronix article and thought: "Finally, an article on this subject! Only, this one isn't very good."
