It is almost tradition at this stage. A rumor surfaces at some point or another during the year, usually around the same time, that
Valve is looking to bring their ubiquitous gaming platform to Linux. Usually these rumors either fizzle out or are flat out denied and a plethora of excuses about poor market share, poor graphics performance and so on are given but when the inevitable (yet slightly late this year) rumor of Steam coming to Linux surfaced earlier today the stage was set slightly differently.
The Humble indie bundle has seen huge success selling their suite of games cross platform making the most money per-head on Linux and the Desura Steam competitor has seen release on Linux also. Other engines like the one naval strategy game, Oil rush uses, Unigine are rolling out by the week and things have never looked better for Linux in terms of Gaming .
