You will need a program like Cedega that works as an application layer for win/Linux. www.transgaming.com you can get a demo copy, purchase it for 15$ and get updates for 3 months or subscribe for 5$ a month.

Please note that not all steam games are supported on Cedega.

Monster,

could I ask a little question?

If you had to "rate" steam on a scale of 1-10 with 1 bad and 10 good, how would you rate it in terms of automatically downloading the item and also interacting with the person as to paying or whatever....

as opposed to a "home brew" system for the same thing....say for the sake of argument, I was going to use steam to "service" a "mod" that I maintain on my servers...as opposed to providing the "mod" on my own servers and having my people provide service rep function...

These would not be a "steady stream" of users here, it would come in "bunches" about three times a year...probably a thousand or so user requests over a month's time...for three months of the year...

idea being, I'm either going to go with "steam", theyh handle the mod, they handle the downloads they handle the support and they harvest a percentage off the orders or maybe I use another game, and company, that doesn't have the automated system and service the stuff myself...

don't know if you understand the question, but from a "user's point of view, you seemed to have some reservations, where I thought that steam was pretty much a well oiled machine...

just a question...

ain't XAndros grEAT!

Hey Monster.....

You really are a very knowledgeable and informative fellow....really....

I would NEVER have thought to be having such a discussion here at the friendly forums of Xandrosia....

Your comments will (possibly) help my partner and I make a decision in the near future about an outside situation.

All this and fifty cents MAY be worth a cuppa joe...or it may be significant....one never knows, but we have wrestled with the thing about steam for the last month and now have information which provides a better perspective. Most people with which we have talked have been influenced by the origins of the conversation itself and your information "should" be able to be viewed as neutral third party information.

About a month will tell....

aaaahhhhh the anticipation....and handwringing...! Smile

thanks muchly Monster.....
