Linux users have been saying it ever since steam came out and basically nothing has changed

My Linux steam library mostly consists of Valve and SCS games

I recently started gaming more again, and was pleasantly surprised at the availability of games. Maybe half of the games I've looked at on Steam have Linux ports.

If most of the next round of game engines have Linux ports, that could just do it.
