I had the wrong impression of Steam this whole time. I tried it for the first time recently. I attempted to play Bioshock. It was a game I never got to play fully when it came out. I couldn’t get it to launch at first. Had to read forums and make tweaks to the game installation files to get it to launch. I had the impression that Steam was a gaming platform that ran in its own system. That any game that was available on Steam was tested and would just work. I had the impression is was like an Xbox platform or something. I thought these games also worked on Linux and that was also part of the appeal? I tried it on Windows though. I’m sure newer games work fine. However, the appeal to me was to play some games I didn’t get a chance to play and be able to install and play without all the fuss. I have an Xbox and can get these games used, so not the end of the world.
