Steam Has Brought 1,600 Games To Linux In the Past Three Years
An anonymous reader writes: Today marks three years since Valve's Steam client went into beta on Linux. In that time over 1,600 games have become natively available for Linux.

The three-year anniversary is coincidentally just days before the release of Steam Machines.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
