Maybe it's old enough that some people never had to deal with it, but before Steam, being able to play a game on a different version of Windows than what it came out for was a crapshoot. Playing on Linux was even MORE of a crapshoot. I remember when I got Team Fortress running on Linux for the first time (at like 10 FPS) and was ecstatic.
Linux gaming existed before steam, but Steam (and Valve) brought Linux gaming to the masses.
