I expected this for this month.

Several AAA windows only games have been released, and the majority of people wants to play them.
Doom is only for windows.
Overwatch is only for windows.
Total War warhammer will eventually come to linux, but atm is only for windows.
Rise of the Tomb rider is only for windows, and could or not come to linux.

If new big launching games are windows only, I can understand that people wants to play it.

They just went crazy. This is not a 'service'. It's a tool. It's like saying 'Ok, you like this television? Everything you develop in your pc, which is shown throug it's screen can be used by the television maker...' It is simply stupid.

A serious real world example. Now the unreal engine can develop maps by working in VR.
So, you re hired by a game company to develop a map for an unnanounced game. You develop the map in VR with the Occulus. Then all the stuff you have done in Occulus, Facebook can use it, expose it withouth your permisson...the map is shown to the public without the game publisher's permisson...the project gets unveiled too soon....

This is a deal breaker to me. I will never use it. Not even if they change this in the future.

PLEASE if someone gets the Vive or the OSVR, say if it has something like this in their EULA.

Some months ago it was the 0.90% of 80 millions and now is 0.90% of 110 millions of people.
They dont see this? Are they blind?

Steam in these cases is the lesser of two evils

I don't see Steam as evil at all? It's a digital distribution platform - so what? It's even a platform for free software. And like it's said in the article: No exclusivity periods, it's free for the users, it's cross platform, it's proven to be a reliable service, they support Linux.
Where's the evilness?

Steam is not free software. Here's the evilness !
Why the heck are you using GNU/Linux ?

One could like and use linux while also like and use some privative software.
Not all privative companies are evil. You will have to judge them wihouth prejudices and only by their facts.
If a company make a lot of moves to make linux grow by increasing the available games to it, and also make good games discounts putting games at 1.49 dollars (I purchased half life 2 episode 2 for this price in the last sales), then is not evil to me.
Sorry, but in the real world, one could use free software and not share all the principles of the free software. There are middle terms between the extremes....oh my god, If Richard Stallmans hear me is going to kill me.

Valve is making games exclusive to their "platform", which is Steam, the same way Microsoft is making games exclusive to their Xbox/Windows store

If you're referring to the Source 2 engine, to my knowledge, Valve is not saying that games made using that engine cannot be sold outside of Steam; Valve is simply saying that, the Source 2 engine games must be sold in either Steam alone or Steam in addition to any other store.

Oh no, I just mean that PC versions of Valve games (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Dota 2, Portal) are only playable on Steam, even if you buy a physical copy.

That's because all the games you have listed are all develoved by Valve. But the monopoly practices are to make exclusives to an store for games done by third companies. If Valve makes the game, Valve chooses in which stores must be sold.
In the case of Quantum Break, this game is made by a third company, but Ms has made a deal for that company to only sell the game in their store.
Valve will never say to a third company: "sell the game in steam, and not in another. I will pay you money to be steam exclusive". Valve will never say "this game is only playable in steam os",both things could in fact, be good moves if they want to set their own monopoly. But they won't do.

Let's just judge them by the facts:

Fact. Steam allows game developers to put the game on steam, then sell on other stores.
Microsoft its making exclusive games for their store.

Fact. Valve never going to make a game exclusive for its platform. (steam machines)
Microsoft its making exclusive games for xbox one.

Fact. Valve lets people vote which games are to be played in their system (greenlight). Microsoft have to approve your game.

Conclusion:
Microsoft are making movements who are proper of monopoly.

If you help a monopoly to consolidate, then you will be forced to obey their rules: Pay a fee to play online. Pay a fee monthly. Stay permanently connected to the internet to play even solo games. At the moment is consolidated, they will put rules and you only will be able to obey them.

Well, simply do not help monopolys.

In the question who says about having used windows, it can be seen that windows can be used through virtual machine or partition. I don't know if is important or if you care about, but I think it migh be put as an option if you have a second pc with windows. (its my case)

Quoting: LordpkappaWell i tried it.
I have the stop bug, the game works only if the caracter is in motion.
The Tutorial is a Pink fullscreen with sound that i can't stop, and i have others bugs, the rope it's taken from Zoya ;) of Trine 3.
I think that it's not more that an alfa code.

The pink screen is a bug.
The stop screen is normal. The game is played so. Things only moves when you move.
