A shame from the perspective of larger linux adoption, maybe, or by other viewpoints. From the perspective of most consumers in the population of gamers it's a superb result. Competition in the platform space has resulted in improved performance and spurred development of technologies that facilitate better gaming experiences across several dimensions. Why should Valve be a crusader for Linux? Their goal is to make great games and serve gamers.

> Why should Valve be a crusader for Linux? Because they can put a definitive end on the standoff between them and Microsoft. But that is not, and should not be their main goal. And if it's too expensive, it may end up detrimental to the "great games" goal. So, they should be looking into it, but there may be really good reasons to not do it.
