I never really understood all of this 'dead on arrival' business. I guess it's just the product of an open development approach where people are free to try the beta and give feedback as it's being built. Replace 'Valve', 'Steam Machine' and 'Linux' with 'Sony', 'Playstation 3' and 'FreeBSD', respectively, and all this talk of it being bound to fail because developers won't support that particular operating system just sounds a bit silly.
I appreciate that Sony has been in the game a while, and I've no idea if the PS4 is still based on FreeBSD (and can't even be bothered to google despite the fact that it'd probably be quicker to do so than write this sentence) but I reckon that if any big company wanted to drum up support for their new console, people wouldn't be complaining that it might fail because of its operatign system. As long as it supports certain standards(such as OpenGL), they'd be all over it.
No, I fear the only reason there's so much doubt is simply because Valve is making their development (and their mistakes) out in the open. This is a better way of doing it, it will lead to a better product and the world needs to catch up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I've seen the Warner Bros logo when loading up Dying Light...

If I were the boss of Feral (Mr Feral himself. James P. Feral, esq, whatever) I would start here: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ [External Link] and port anything that hadn't already been done in the "Top games by current player count" list.
Um...
But then we wouldn't make any money because everyone already owns those games and probably won't buy them again... and I'd ruin the whole business... which might go some way towards explaining why I am not the boss of Feral...
Never mind.
