    Update : Good news for all ubuntu users.Steam for Linux is "Open for all".Alongwith that,Valve has released some games with holiday discount in steam like Serious Sam 3,World of Goo,Killing Floor,Amnesia & Dungeons of Dredmoor.

    Well,I agree the titles are extremely less than of OS X/Windows titles,but We're growing 😀
