Valve Re-affirms Commitment To SteamOS and Linux After Hiding Steam Machines from Store (neowin.net)

An anonymous reader writes: Valve recently removed Steam Machines from the Steam Store navigation menus which naturally led people to believe that Valve was giving up on that initiative, also leading to concern about its operating system, SteamOS. In a statement posted on its blog today, the firm said that it's still committed to SteamOS and Linux. It said the main reason for removing Steam Machines from the navigation menu was due to the low amount of traffic the page was getting. In a statement, Valve said, "We've noticed that what started out as a routine cleanup of the Steam Store navigation turned into a story about the delisting of Steam Machines. That section of the Steam Store is still available, but was removed from the main navigation bar based on user traffic. Given that this change has sparked a lot of interest, we thought it'd make sense to address some of the points we've seen people take away from it."

Valve could give it a push long term

If they decrease the prices for developers that provide support for Vulkan on their store it would give a nice stepping stone to promote SteamOS or other Linux variants a more solid stepping stone to entice people to at least give it a look and when a larger and more recent game releases are available at the product release perhaps then PC users will seriously consider ditching microsoft windows 10/1x..etc... abuses and all imposed we do whatever we want with your machine bullshit.

No one believes you anymore Valve.
