The Left 4 Dead 2 web-site has been updated to further reflect last weeks' Valve Linux news: Left 4 Dead 2 will be natively released for Linux this calendar year...

Cool idea, but Tux with Valve in the head would be better

Michael, some weeks ago (and I'm sure you remember) I said it was coming this year around September but you said "I was totally wrong" .

For those not into Valve games, "Cold Stream" is the latest free DLC just released for the game.

Why not Tuxified and, little a tapped? Tux the progenitor of tuxification upon the world!

Or not. Still, a tapped tux would definately be a sweet, and winky (not really winky, just damn cool) moment when you start a Valve-release in Linux and there's the back of Tux' head, releasing steam from his valve. Maybe give him a Gordon-stache and shooting Devils when Half-Life turns up.

from a marketing point of view this is like releasing diablo for Bible-OS...

Because penguins... don't like... zombies... ?

I like that it is announced.
Not just some hidden small text link on some obscure page, its actually there with a big fat zombie Tux!

How exactly does this constitute an article?

Lolz. Yeah, Tux as a mascot has always been a benefit. So versatile.

I hope my Windows License of L4D2 will work with that, but even then... I might consider spending money on it (again). Well, I still dislike Steam for DRM and this kind of stuff (community part is ok though) but if that really comes true... wow.
