Even if Steam went to Linux as well, that wouldn't make the API public.

I think he's talking about your original "Steam chat on the DS would be possible" post in the EoF, as linked earlier in the thread. Nothing to do with Linux or anything. It gave him false hope, leading him to create this topic.

Honestly I'm not entirely why you said "yes" in the first place, given how much you've proven you already know about DRM and Steam and such.

Yes.

He never said it would be easy, just possible.

[Rydian]

If Valve were to make it, they could do it easily 'cause they have the API and permission to use the network since they own it.

Wouldn't really be homebrew, would it now?

[Rydian]

No, but there's about as much chance of that happening as somebody going through all the effort to make a homebrew one.

So, there's no way to like use  CLIRC to connect to the Steam servers?

Ah true Rydian, because of Linux being more open it would probably go easier for any cracking
However about setting up OSX I must not agree, if someone has INTEL CPU he/she can install OSX just like it is, for AMD users there are hacked versions of OSX which are just the same with AMD locker killed (and sometimes some extra stuff like QuickTime or something)

I wouldn't be angry, they can keep API secret, I don't mind

Hell, beteeen NT 5 (XP family) and NT 6 (Vista/7 family) the graphics system changed so older graphics drivers don't work and a bunch of crap too.

XP can run pretty nice on Riva TNT 2 model 64 card! \o/
(just to add something from me xD)

Oh well, Valve has odd politics sometimes but at least they are making most of stuff pretty good, Steam per se works on Linux and many of the games as well, there is probably no need for HackShield Crap because Steam is good "shield" itself...and it works on Wine mwahahaha
Steam > G.F.W.L. (in my opinion)
