Still need to wait for them to reveal how everything is going to work. Right now being able to run a dozen of indie games and Valve products on a Linux-based \"computer\" just doesn't cut it for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>My understanding is that a linux steam box is meant to compete in the console space. There aren't any games available for Durango(xbox720)\/Orbis(ps4) either, but once those consoles come out no one is worried there won't be any games. If there's enough excitement\/demand for this box then games will be made for it.<\/p>In some way existing windows games are a backwards compatibility problem.
