So today marks a whole year of having the Steam client on Linux, how will you celebrate or do you still refuse to use it?
For me it's opened a rather large world of gaming I otherwise wouldn't be doing.
Personally I would crack open a bottle of something but I have nothing left, so it's a raised glass a water to Valve from me.
What are you most looking forward to in future from Steam on Linux? Or if you shy away from it, why? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Quote from HadBabitsEveryone agrees that Canonical has done a lot of good in promoting LinuxI wish people would stop trying to speak for everyone*. I sure as hell don't agree!
*Likewise, despite assertions of the contrary, not everyone agrees that "at least Ender's Game was a great book". Seriously people, stop doing that!

Quoting: Quote from AnonymousQuoting: Quote from tuxisagamerAAA titles on Linux.
Another big one is coming: Project cars !

Now I know steam machines will be able to compete with consoles :D
No way :O
That was the only racing game I was wishing for a Linux port and now it will really come to Linux :D
That is awesome to say the least. For what I have seen so far from this game, no Grand Turismo, Need for Speed or anything else can compete with this.
I will definitely buy it first day it arrives on Linux.
Oh and happy first birthday Steam on Linux :)

I've been awaiting the arrival of Steam on Linux eagerly and especially the Steam machines, for I knew/know it would/will give incredible traction to the OS, even though I didn't plan to use Steam myself.
Recently I've grown some respect for Valve for a number of reasons though. I hope they will continue in the way of openness. But until they get away with the DRM I'm still reluctant to buy anything on their platform, I don't want to lock my library on any platform, I want to be free to use a different app or OS-integrated way to manage my games. Sadly I know that as long as they don't have a real competitor, most games will only release on Steam and I might be forced to buy from them.

This is not aimed at anyone specifically... I still don't understand why anyone who not only doesn't use Steam but detests what it stands for, would want to post in a thread celebrating it! It doesn't add anything :P

Because Liam asked :
It might also just be the will to speak about a recurrent topic that one's strongly opiniated about. ;)

Lots of games on Steam don't use DRM. You can use Steam to buy them cheap, download them, then never use Steam again.

But then cheapness is only one benefit of Steam. For me, the bigger value is in the community, knowing what my friends are playing, competing for achievements, jumping into their games, using the Steam voicechat to emulate LAN parties, starting up threads about the games and their linux support, and modding games simply by "subscribing" to workshop content.
Steam has its drawbacks, but the platform is pretty awesome. Like most social platforms, you get out more if you put in more.

I wish they advertised it on the games' profile.
