That would be nice, having good competition solves a lot of problems. Plus if steamOS gains enough traction more large game studios may start to specifically support it.

Do they have to though? Isn't "just" running on Linux (mostly done by avoiding weird tricks, say a Windows build from Unity often works) enough?

Anticheat doesnt usually work, and often it takes tweaking to get windows games working perfectly. It'd be nice if everything just worked.
