That enough to make me drop everything steam and go some where else. Although I thought that was a Valve project - no? I am used to being wrong these days.
Also, this Steam idea has one fatal flaw. Being tied to linux means I will most likely never go there. I hate linux with a passion. I would rather work with Windows!
Linux is a great kernel and there are some brilliant distributions out there that meet most needs... My only grip about Linux is the lack of proper realtime scheduling, I recently tried to to some embedded control using a raspberry pi running raspbian (Debian for the pi), and was getting up to 10ms jitter!!!
Back on topic, your dislike of Linux is illogical.
