[cod] OT: Ryan Source

[escapedturkey]

I was reading  BluesNews and saw this:

"There are also persistent rumors that Valve has hired Ryan Gordon to do 
a Linux port of their Source engine. I think if they have indeed hired 
him it's more likely they have hired him for an OS X / iPhone port of 
the engine, but Ryan is a Linux guy at heart - he did the Linux ports of 
the Unreal engines for Epic, for example - and would likely push for a 
Linux port as well, and make tech choices that would make it easier to 
bring it to Linux (e.g. using libsdl for input handling, that would work 
on both platforms)."

Any truth in this? :)
