I mean here it is 2011 and they still expect people to use a terminal
...and as we all know, it's much easier to follow a tutorial with 30 steps including editing registry keys and running cryptic commands in the "Start -> Run..." window than it is to simply copy & paste a one-liner and hit enter in a terminal.
Actually this is kind of exciting for if it seriously takes off, that means one can do some gaming in a linux platform.
I've been playing games using only GNU/Linux for many years and the main problem was lack of time to try them all, especially since the Humble Indie Bundle. Let alone all those games for Android. I highly doubt that I somehow travelled in time and started using NaCl even before Chromium was released.
I agree it can result in more cross-platform games, though.
So, as someone have mentioned, we already have/dev/null - the greatest write-only data storage device...
But imagine... We'll be reading about Russian scientists discovering the way to recover data from/dev/null...

in the same way that it would be tricky but nerdily rewarding to make a 16-bit ALU using discrete transistors and wires on a breadboard.
More like "make a 16-bit ALU using buggy discrete transistors and broken wires on a breadboard". Nerdily rewarding? I'd call it masochism.
