Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

This is a good thing for non linux users to think about as well as developers and publishers. What it means for them when Microsoft is trying to change the game and how valuable it is to have access to another viable platform(osx does not count) rather than allowing Microsoft to set the rules.

Dying Light's online modes get bigger with The Following, hopefully they actually fix it for Linux

Quoting: XeekeiI also discovered the hard way today, that you can't switch between Windows and Linux and expect your save files to work. Though that was the base game, but I doubt The Following fixes this.
Several games on steam have this problem with save games unfortunately.

Bound By Flame, an impressive looking action RPG now on SteamOS & Linux

The game will not pickup your gamepad automatically, I had to go into the settings and manually select gamepad or else on the on-screen prompts were for mouse and keyboard. It kept switching back to keyboard too, but it seems changing it in the main menu made it stay on gamepad controls.
I myself had none of those controller issues game adapted to the steam controller with proper weapons tips after changing to gamepad. The default emulated joystick the steam controller config suck though change to mouse.

Quoting: WodenThe Steam Link undermined the utility of a Steam Machine to the average consumer. Worse still, those who don't give a toss about Linux have seen the performance numbers, and will want to stick with Windows.

This isn't looking good for SteamOS in the long run. I just hope Valve doesn't abandon it altogether by the end of next year.
I don't think valve will abandon steamOS I think they knew right from the start that this was going to be the long haul investment, there's no way valve can expect to toss the gamepad and steamOS out there and expect it to be an instant hit with the crowd.

I'm quite certain the people over at dice wants to do a linux game but the business people over at EA says no.
