Unfortunately Steam deals in a lot of third party applications which they could not convert to operate on the Linux platform due to not having access to the source code.
However ID having open sourced many of their projects, and the half life game engine being owned by steam or "Valve". They could easily port their own games and even some of the ID software games over for a starting point.
I think I would be happy even if a major publisher like Valve where to put just a few games on Linux through their API. This would encourage more developers to follow suit, or even grant Valve access to the source for the purpose of creating Linux compatible ports.
Unfortunately Valve apparently doesn't see the practicalities of it QQ
