| NATO said: Steam can be used on Windows, Linux and Mac OS, with a large portion of the games that aren't officially supported in Linux, able to run through Wine too. DirectX has it's advantages, but it is also limited to the windows platform only, something Steam is not, regardless of that, crediting PC gamings success to Microsoft is laughable at best, Microsoft have held back gaming and in some instances taken it back a few steps too, largely through a desire to restrict to their platform. PC gamings success has little to do with them, Valves success has little to do with them too. |
Yeah, Steam can also be used on Linux and Mac OS... for a fraction of games... years after it turned out to be a success.
And still more than 96% of the Steam hardware base uses Windows (with an upwards trend) :
Do you really believe that PC's and Valve's/Steam's success only had little to do with the groundwork Microsoft has layed out?
