<div>cool, I didn't know that much history about valve, so thanks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also missed the one bullet point...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-Port Windows-based games to the Linux platform.<br><br>Of course with ALL the other duties listed, not sure how much time one would get to do that porting. It is also interesting to note the job doesn't say anything about having participated on a game before, which is strange for that type position. Senior position with only 2 years...
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Those are the things I was questioning... but yes... Steam on Linux or soon to be possible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the info, not that I will be applying for that job.<br> </div>

<br><br>Valve was founded by former M$ engineers. Their games are extremely<br>popular. The closest to a native Linux game they've gotten is a Linux<br>dedicated server - never a client. The server was probably easy since
<br>their original Half-Life game years ago was based on ID Software's<br>Quake engine which was already cross-platform.<br>_______________________________________________<br>mdlug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mdlug@mdlug.org">
