I think that this allows many gamers to finally give up windows. And as less of their shit is win-only, they buy less win-only shit. Until more and more are linux-only, forcing the market to move where the customer wants it to.
Basically it's to help gamers who aren't CS majors to make the switch, slowly weening them off the M$ teet.

MS doesn't even care about windows anymore, it's not their primary focus anymore.

I managed to get Skyrim running on a 2015 Chromebook Pixel LS (on Ubuntu in Crouton) and it's almost playable. After I mod the shit out of it, I fully expect it to be a decent experience. I'm gonna redo the whole Crouton installation on external media because I can literally only fit one game at a time, but I'm definitely excited.

Can someone redpill me on why I should be running my games on linux?

Well first off, Microsoft is an evil company and Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 are basically spyware. Then there's the inherent benefits of Linux that anyone with the aptitude to operate it would recognize. And of course, if building a gaming PC, Windows is an added expense.

opt in for beta client, then settings - steam play and choose whether you want tested functional games or your entire library to be able to download.
