An interesting little note is that when you look into how many games Steam has that are now on Linux, the figure has surpassed 400!
Currently it looks to be sitting at 403 when you do the search here. Although SteamDB only lists 374 confirmed as working, the SteamDB figure is a little off as it is based on user-feedback with games like "Nuclear Throne" only showing as "Game Possibly Works", it does work though given that I did a video of it here.
By the time SteamOS Linux is stable and the Steam Machines enter the fold we should have a couple hundred more at the rate they have been releasing recently.
I still think it is crazy how fast games have been coming out recently for Linux. We have a lot to thank Valve & Steam for, even GOG.com are going to support Linux which you can pretty much bet is because of how much Valve are talking up Linux.
With SteamOS still being Linux the good thing is that you can still support DRM free games from places like GOG, Desura, IndieGameStand, Itch, Fireflower Games, Gameolith and more if you use SteamOS. Valve would never stop you being able to download Linux games from elsewhere.
It's going to get more and more interesting as time goes on.

400 games is a bit of a milestone, at least. I remember back in the beta, when the majority of games available for Linux had already been featured (and bought) in various Humble Bundles. When Crusader Kings II came out, I was overjoyed; the first ***** game for Linux since Neverwinter Nights and Dominions 3.

Don't you guys ever forget about Humble Bundle role in all this. If Valve can pave the way to Linux gaming with stone its because HB walked into the unknown without even a dirt road.
