I didn't say it was Valve's responsibility.

That's what you are suggesting...you said it right here...

I guess you didn't believe Valve's bullet point on helping small development houses and leveling the playing field more for Windows games. Why the heck couldn't the same be said about Linux?

It'd say the need would be even more so with Linux, because it'll be even more difficult to find a publisher.

Simply put...Why should Valve help Linux with their gaming when Linux isn't helping themselves?

Is it currently Valve's responsibility to champion Windows gaming? No, they can do whatever the heck they want, including going 100% console. Since when is it any companies responsibility to champion any cause? Your assertion is a far cry from my statement. I'm only pointing out one of Valve's talking points describing the reason for the creation of their service and an obvious parallel to small developers for Linux.

And let me state for the record, Valve isn't responsible for Linux gaming. Even if for the sake of argument they were, in reality it'd probably take them 5 years to come out with something anyways.
