I'm waiting for a MS vs Steam lawsuit where MS tries to sue over the usage of the Windows api

Microsoft has already lost the console wars, and now it starts to look like they might even lose the PC wars. Is there any future for Microsoft gaming? It feels like the only thing they got going for them is Call of Duty.

SteamOS will let you pay games from GOG, right?

Yes you just have to sideload the client. I believe Lutris makes it easy but I don't use GOG myself.

I hope the installer will be so easy that even non-gamers with little to no technical knowledge will be able to download it, double-click, and follow the wizard then end up with SteamOS installed. That would be the dream.
