If Steam can get viable business out of selling indie and smaller-publisher games then that is self-sustaining even if Linux does not take over the entire industry (FIFA, Deer Hunter, etc.)
- brudgers 14y agoThey may be able to make a business out of it. For it to be the Year of Linux gaming, publishers need to be doing so. I can still run Solitaire on my Windows 2000 laptop, but that doesn't make it a gaming platform in the sense implied by the article. Few people are going on eBay to pick up a Windows 2000 laptop for gaming, likewise, few people are going to install Linux in order to run games.
- AdrianRossouw 14y agowhy install it when it could be a live cd that boots straight into steam?
- brudgers 14y agoMaybe Steam could send these CD's in the mail and offer like ten free hours of use.
