So setting aside people's emotional considerations of Linux being a second class citizen, a library of games in Steam and DVDs including alternative executables

So setting aside people's emotional considerations of Linux being a second class citizen, a library of games in Steam and DVDs including alternative executables using Winelib seems like a great way forward. Most games these days are designed to run on a range of graphics detail settings, and it's not a big deal if you just have to turn a few things down a little on the latest games.

Although I can understand why some on PC would consider Linux a second class citizen for gaming, the larger issue that matters more is PC in general typically being a second class citizen for games through lack luster console ports. I would much rather see developers focus on making quality games for PC in general than worrying about porting it natively to Linux or OSX instead of just assuring it works well in Wine. It would be nice to just see everyone behind that more than complaining about whether something is native or using wine. A lousy console port that works natively is still a lousy game.
