DOTA 2 是Valve 开发的DotA 类竞技游戏。由于Valve 从去年开始移植自有游戏平台Steam、Source 到Linux 环境，所以一直一来很多人都期待以及希望DOTA 2 能够发布Linux 版。而在今天，Dota 2 的开发社区，悄然多了Linux 板块以及Mac  板块，并且官方发布了声明：

Please note that Dota 2 Linux is still in testing and only available on Dota 2 Test. We’re looking for early testing and feedback from users before we ship Linux support on the main Dota 2 release client. Your feedback and bug reports will directly help us improve Dota 2 on Linux. We are tracking Linux specific issues on the Dota 2 GitHub available at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues This is the place to check if the bug you are seeing has been reported and to also report your own bugs. Please note this is for Mac or Linux specific issues. Generally Dota 2 bugs should go into Gameplay Bugs forum available at http://dev.dota2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4
