L'annonce de Valve [en] du 14 février 2013 :
"Steam for Linux Now Available
Announcement - Valve
Best experienced on Ubuntu

Feb 14, 2013–Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as 
Counter-Strike and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and 
Source), today announced the release of its Steam for Linux client. In 
celebration of the release, over 50 Linux titles are now 50-75% off until 
Thursday, February 21st at 10 AM PST. 

The Steam client is now available to download for free from the Ubuntu 
Software Center. Ubuntu is the most popular distribution of Linux used by 
millions of people globally and known for its well-designed, easy-to-use 
customer experience. 

“The introduction of Steam to Ubuntu demonstrates growing demand for open 
systems from gamers and game developers,” said David Pitkin, Director of 
Consumer Applications at Canonical. “We expect a growing number of game 
developers to include Ubuntu among their target platforms. We’re looking 
forward to seeing AAA games developed with Ubuntu in mind as part of a 
multi-platform day and date release on Steam.” 

“We’re huge fans of Linux. It’s like the indie OS–a perfect home for our 
indie game,” said Alen Ladavac, CTO of Croteam, creator of the Serious Sam 
franchise of games. “And who better to lead the charge into Linux gaming than 
Valve? With Steam distribution on Windows, Mac OS, and now Linux, plus the 
buy-once, play-anywhere promise of Steam Play, our games are available to 
everyone, regardless what type of computer they’re running. That’s huge.”

Team Fortress 2, the Free to Play game, is also now available on Steam for 
Linux. For a limited time, Steam users who play the game on Linux will 
automatically receive a free, exclusive in-game item: Tux, the Linux mascot, 
can be carried by any of the game’s classes and traded between players. 
Additional Valve titles available on Steam for Linux include Half-Life, 
Counter-Strike 1.6, and Counter-Strike: Source. 

In addition to games, the Steam for Linux client includes Big Picture, the 
new mode of Steam designed for use with a TV and game controller. With Steam 
for Linux and Big Picture mode, Valve anticipates a growing number of gamers 
will use Steam in the living room. 

Steam is a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC and Mac 
games with over 50 million accounts around the world and over 2,000 titles 
offered. More details regarding Steam for Linux, including community 
discussion, official announcements and syndicated news can all be tracked on 
the Steam for Linux Community Hub at http://steamcommunity.com/linux.";
