Steam On Linux Now Has Over a Thousand Games Available

Posted by Soulskill on from the year-of-linux-on-the-console dept.

An anonymous reader writes: This week the Steam Linux client has crossed the threshold of having more than 1,000 native Linux games available while Steam in total has just under 5,000 games. This news comes while the reported Steam Linux market-share is just about 1.0%, but Valve continues brewing big plans for Linux gaming. Is 2015 the year of the Linux gaming system?

  1. Isn't "Steam on Linux" just a bunch of flash apps? by davek · · Score: -1, Troll

    It seems to me that the whole "Seam on Linux" thing is much ado about nothing. Aren't most Steam games just flash (or HTML5, maybe) applications, which have worked in linux forever? Maybe it's the whole payment system that's so wonderful? I just don't get the hype.
