There are too many hurdles to get these new games, though. First, there's no catalogue with all of them to browse through. Second, they don't run out of the box on Linux. Old games, I just download a ROM pack with all games for a given system and an emulator and I'm more or less set. I get a finished game that I'm sure won't receive any updates in the future and I'm also sure to be able to play it going forward on new hard- and software. Additionally, new systems game libraries will become available like this, including games that already had marketing done for them, so I know they exist and whether I would want to play them or not.

Only retards use steam. I want to actually own my games.

Linux gaming is the classic "chicken and egg" problem. Most see no reason to switch, but they have to switch first before it's financially feasible to offer games on that platform. Valves half assed effort a few years back didn't help at all.

It shouldn't even be that hard for the devs to make their games run on Linux, too. Id software has a track record of doing just that in the past and they were like five guys making games. They open-sourced their old engines, so the community could help out. There's no excuse for old games to not run on Linux.
