If ya look at the url a few replys does there is info on using it for distro'ing other games and things (ATI and Nvidia have plans for it), so a good use, imho, would be for x-platform games to be released via it, one system in place for distroing a Win, Mac AND Linux version of a game would cut the devs. costs a great deal and might help kick start the Linux game front a bit more
