I'm confused. What was the point of posting this link? This is just the Steam group for the beta. It doesn't include any new information (or a way to get in the beta) that I can see.
- dexen 14y agoAn official group is yet another milestone to having Steam on Linux. Also, there's a prominent `Join' button for them early adopters :-)
- rowsdower 14y agoRight, but this doesn't guarantee beta access, nor does it confirm anything we didn't already know. I'm not trying to be prickly, I just don't see the point of this submission as it stands. If anything, the title should have been, "Join the Steam for Linux Beta Group" or something along those lines.
- anthonyb 14y agoAnd if a million people join the group, they'll know they're onto something.
- chongli 14y agoThey already know they're on to something. If Gabe's worst nightmares about Windows come true, Linux will be his only refuge.
- anthonyb 14y agoYes, but unless they can convince large publishers that writing games for Linux is a good idea, it's not much of a refuge, is it? Having a hundred thousand people sign up for his Steam group might be enough to get the ball rolling that way, though.
