As an enthusiast of Linux and Steam,, I'm don't feel they are "there" yet.
I'm having fun with SPAZ for the last two months, but... - Where is all Humble Bundle Games that were already ported for Linux (Dungeon Defenders and Torchlight, for example)? - Why some games are listed as available and yet they can't run (Shank 2)? - Why even games that are available for sell doesn't work at all (Anomaly Warzone Earth, the developer recommends ask for a refund)? - And where are the A games (not the "AAA"), that run in Mac and could be ported easily to Linux (Half-Life 2, Left2Dead, The Witcher)? Half of games were from Humble Bundles and were already available in Ubuntu Software Center, the other half are just more of same: what's the point of have 100 games available for Linux if 20 are puzzles, 20 are tower defense, 20 are old-school 2D platforms and the remaining 40 are not full games, but just DLCs? Don't take it wrong, but Steam will be a viable gaming platform for Linux in the day when we can pick a game and buy not because it runs in Linux, but because we wanted the game. And this day is not today. Regards, *Alexandre Maciel* 2013/2/14 <[email protected]> > I have been using Steam on Linux for some time now.
