I'm really disappointed by the loosers who decided to angrily lash out on Valve (page 1) because OMG Valve Broke My </3 no Linux VR Day 1?

It's like a spoiled brat kid that gets every candy in the candy store except 1 kind and then throws a huge fit and throws all their candy in the trash. There are many technical and logical reasons why Valve targets Windows users for Alpha/Beta releases:
1. Larger user base (a healther cross-section of their DOTA audience & player base 1% VS 90%, eg: Mr. Average.)
2. Development Tools - Photoshop, 3DStudioMax, Microsoft Visual Studios, Illustrator, and other "tools for developers" are only available for Windows or Mac. a wise company knows not to take their Photoshop expert and throw them on GIMP on Linux and expect equal or superior performance - if they did their devs would have a mutiny and Valve & SteamOS would turn into a clusterfuck - you don't change what works mid-race, and right now what works with employees workflow is Windows. Honestly, the change to Arch Linux full-time has been a excruciatingly difficult one for me, I can't even imagine a average user not throwing their machine out the window or quitting when they barely know the difference between a PDF, a DOCX and TXT.
3. Steam Machines haven't even been released yet - so it's a pre Steam Machine era, development tools for Linux are being pioneered by Valve and not perfected and integrated into dev workflows flawlessly yet.

To everyone not acting like a bratty 14 year old, thanks.

We tried PA a while ago and were somewhat disappointed. The camera stuck in a weird way and everything was so zoomed out it felt kindof boring. I was hoping it would be something like StarCraft BroodWar but I'm not sure what it was like.

Maybe after a long while it'll be fun but the problem is that I now have a preconceived idea that it sucks based on experience :(

Great news :) I tried it and the Workshop modes are what make it even more fun - Domination, etc... Cat & Mouse, etc...

I'm really glad they've added custom games since most games I rarely play for the main game - eg: StarCraft II - I only play Arcade, and lately SC2 is a sunken battleship.

My girl will love this she plays Civ on Arch a lot.

So my brother wanted a Steam Controller for his Steam Linux PC for graduation. Whatever RedHat, Ubuntu and Valve do to benefit the Linux Ecosystem, I'll all game.

It's certainly a very exciting time to be on Linux and use a system that's community created and in the wild.

I've heard some people really crack out on this game once they get into it. Initially it's a little slow because you have no idea what to do or your full abilities but it's basically a loot space shoot em up game inspired by Descent.

This content update looks great :)

I wish the Steam Machines said what kind of GeForce GPU was in those Alienwares.

Of course my current needs can only make use of the Steam Controller & Steam Link - I would be interested in buying a Steam Machine if I had the extra cash, but I couldn't imagine buying an i3 @ 450 knowing how sub par i3's are - but maybe in comparison to XBONE and PS4 it's equivilent if devs optimize right - hard to say.
