It's a double edge sword. Linux isn't a viable gaming platform because few develop on it, and few develop on it because it isn't recognized as a mainstream gaming platform.
Steam conversion to Linux is a nice change. However until all of the big developers start doing it then nothing much will change.. When Battlefield 4, Dishonored, and Bioshock type stuff hits Linux - then you know it is mainstream.
Another issue - I have 300 games on Windows. Until they become totally obsolete over a long duration of time, I won't be able to run Linux Distros. I'm not dumping 300 games. My friend switched to Mac, and in the process lost 90% of his game library, and most of the new releases. Not a good situation.
