As much as I hate Steam, Steam coming to Linux is actually a Good Thing. One of the main reasons it took me many years to switch to Linux was the lack of games. Many others felt the same way. If I was Steam, I'd use the sales to customers whose primary platform is Linux to fund the porting of additional games, either through grants/incentives to developers, patching of Wine, or both. The more acceptable Linux becomes as a viable alternative for gamers, the stronger the uptake of desktop Linux will be.
