Guild Wars 2

heeheehee Steam os release plz, or Linux plz heeheehee

Anet barely supports their Mac beta client (which is a port). I wouldn’t get your hopes up for a Steam or Linux port.

Not going to happen. The game is DX 9.0C and unless it would be ported to Open GL, well it ain’t going to happen.

Steam wants a cut of any ingame percheses and DLC. That’s why EA made Origin, so they would not have to give Valve more money. I don’t see ANet wanted to split the money they make from gem sales with Valve, so not going to happen.

If you want it on steam on the pc, just add it as a non steam game. It will show in your list of games (won’t keep track of time played, achievs, etc though) and when you launch it through steam you sill be able to use the overlay (Its what I currently do).

Steam and SteamOS are two completely different things.
One of them is a program and distribution platoform for game which is basically known by any gamer at this point.

The other is a Linux based (Debian to be specific) operation system (like Windows is an OS) which is also developed by Valve, the developer of Steam.

While Steam is part of SteamOS you should still be able to install any other application including games, without using the program Steam.

What OP asked for is a native port to SteamOS/Linux so that the game runs on Linux and SteamOS instead of just Windows and barely MacOS.

But as the second poster already pointed out, it is very unlikely to happen, as fundamental systems of the game engine have to be rewritten for this.

I’m pretty sure the point of sale profits far out weighs the small amount of money they make on selling in game costumes and services to the point that it’s worth it.
