This is the corresponding github issue, open since 2012: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/74 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/74 :) At some point during the beta of the Steam client for Linux, there was a bug in that you could install Windows games on Linux. I had a binfmt_misc setup at the time, which allowed me to run Windows executables directly through Wine as if they were ordinary ELF binaries. I don't remember exactly what happened when I tried running one, I think it failed when the Steam copy protection kicked in, but I always wondered if they couldn't make this work.
