This is a chicken and egg problem: gamers are not attached to Steam, they're attached to the game itself. Having Steam in Linux doesn't mean all big titles will work in Linux overnight. Valves title alone won't be enough. It has been over two years since Steam supports Mac OS X, but number of big titles ported to the Mac is still relatively low.

Most Blizzard games already work pretty well with Wine so perhaps a distribution could take care of supporting Steam and a properly configured release of Wine for Blizzard games.
