 @gamingonlinux and it wasn't really well planned, it required you to be social to enter the beta. SOCIAL! I literally didn't even have a steamcommunity profile until they required that and have friends added.  @gamingonlinux *2012 (2013 was "stable" release). I''m not sure when the headless version was available for linux though, I know it was well before the graphical client though, so maybe that's what they mean? It didn't have steam play at that time either though so their claim is doubly weird, the original linux client only supported linux-native games, wouldn't even let you download windows games at that point, biggest ask was for them to allow us to download at least so we could use WINE. @raptor85 Yeah, so 2013, when it actually launched, just as I said ;) but steam play was around then, just not proton @gamingonlinux In 2010, the Steam Play rollout meant you could buy a game once, and play it either on Windows or MacOS. At the time, it was speculated that Linux might come next. By 2013, "Steam Play" was a different feature: not only you get the game on all platforms, but there is also now the compatibility layer. |
@gamingonlinux This doesn't appear to be the first time they've claimed 2010 either, there's a Steam for Linux event citing it from 2018: https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561
