Linux is holding exactly where we thought it would in the Steam Hardware Survey
3 Dec 2015 at 4:27 am UTC

Well if you look the Steam TOP SELLER GAMES , you will understand why gamers are not getting a steam machine,and if you still didn't understand why, the question is very simple as it has been for ages...

"Why to get a steam machine or install Linux if I cant enjoy playing the newest best games?"

When the 99% of the TOP games is released exclusively for Windows and if we are lucky we may see a port after some years then this is a huge NO,for every passionate gamer.

I cant say that I Am a gamer as I used to be before years ago, I am just a casual gamer that I may spend 1h max per day for gaming, not like as I used to do before ,spending like 7-8 hours per day for gaming.
I dont care much about the newest games as I value more the benefits that Linux gives me but the same goes with the gamers.

Gamers value more their accessibility to newest games , is simple as that. They see their OS or Console as a launcher to access their games. They dont care if that is called Windows,Mac,Linux or Xbox,PS,SteamOS or whatever, as long as they can play their newest released favorite games.

Looks Like Road Redemption Is Finally On Its Way To Linux

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: AnxiousInfusionIt's already on Linux. I have a copy sitting in my Steam library right now.
Just being in your Steam library means nothing, it simply means it has information in the backend to show up. It's probably not installable.
It is not playable, already confirmed from steam users...

Three Years Ago Valve Put Steam Into Beta For Linux, A Look At It All
7 Nov 2015 at 8:13 pm UTC Likes: 2

I think Valve's plan with steam Machines is to get the players of these games to use SteamOS.

These are the three TOP games according to Steam Charts

1. Dota 2 765,281
2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 688,392
3. Team Fortress 2 90,590

And guess what, all 3 top games are from Valve and I believe also that an upcoming cs:go or TF3 will be released with Vulkan API just like DOTA 2.

With all these games available to Linux and with Vulkan API which will provide a better performance on Linux I am sure that a lot of people will migrate to SteamOS /Linux.
Also some of my friends have already started asking me , what is Linux , How to Install etc.

Most of the AAA companies are waiting for Vulkan API and I can show you some signs if you want...

for example

and so many other companies but Better to stop here otherwise I will reveal some secrets that are not to be told... :whistle:

I totally agree with Liam, we definitely need AAA Titles at launch and not after a year :><:

GTA5
WITCHER 3
MAD MAX
FALLOUT4
KILLING FLOOR 2
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER
CAPCOM TITLES
METAL GEAR THE PHANTOM PAIN

and so many other cool AAA games will prevent someone to switch to Linux...
