Well I for one am looking forward to it. I used to game quite a lot, but I got busy and stopped playing a few years ago. It was about 6 months after that that I deleted my windows partition since I only ever used it for games.
Now with steam coming to linux I can have games installed on the system I actually WANT to use rather then the one I HAVE to use (but don't because I just can't be arsed installing Windows again) currently.
I doubt that I will get back into gaming like I was 5 years ago, but I also have a job that pays me enough now that I can afford to buy whatever title I like which I didn't in the past. GOOD games coming to linux an be nothing but an overall win for the platform.
In saying that battle for wesnoth is an awesome game. Though I haven't played for a few years since I ran through a few of the available scenarios available for it.
