Quoting: Doc AngeloIf you bought Steam games for your 32bit system and you can't access them anymore, you essentially lost them. There is no reason you should buy a new system, just because most people think you "should" already own one. Old games run on old machines and are still fun. You don't have to have the fanciest technology to enjoy a new rogue-like or a puzzle platformer. (If they are somewhat well programmed.)

I have a couch living room media center PC. It's an Atom+Nvidia+2GB RAM. If the system would be 32bit and Steam would decide that I can't run the client+games anymore, I couldn't play those games in my living room anymore - as well as I couldn't use this PC for in home streaming within steam. It's perfectly capable of this and you don't need fancy bits or anything to receive a stream and display it.

Steam should at least somewhat support 32bit for a rather long time. I don't think I want to replace some of my systems with newer ones and generate electronic garbage for no actual benefit. It still works just fine for it's job.
I have 32-bit and you still have access to your library from the client so I can still play the games i bought, as long as the game is for 32-bit. Another interesting note is that you can install games from the steam website through the client so its not that bad. I totally agree on your last paragraph.

This game looks good and is fun to play. If they added multiplayer and some more small things it would be even more fun.

Natural Selection 2 is finally taking steps towards 64bit with a new patch

Why no 32-bit? It seems now that no new Linux games have a 32-bit port, like rocket league for example.
