Hahahaha, I won't argue the fact that gaming on Linux still has a long and difficult road ahead.
Well I think Steam is starting to move their collection to Linux because of according to Valve CEO Gabe Newell that "Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we’ll lose some of the top-tier PCs, and OEMs who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that’s true, then it will be good to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality.” I work on Linux at work and its awesome. We will just have to see. I mean why wait until now to start moving games to Linux.... Seems strange.
