I've talked to him quite a bit and claims that it's VALVe he's waiting on now, having released some binaries to the initial SVN testing team in the community which didn't work (srcds didn't load).
If this is true or not.. who knows. Anyhow, yeah, he basically said on his blog 'Do you want more guns, gamemodes, maps and models or linux binaries' to a readership averaging the age of 12. Guess which way that went. Oh well. Wonder if anyone in VALVe can confirm or not he's actually asked them anything? It's been 3 weeks since he 'asked'... Ondřej Hošek wrote: > Fourth'd!
