I mean, anyone could have seen this coming, you can't beat PC with another pc and call it living room stuff because that was the pitch for it, but with smart tv's and no need for a seperate box to do stuff on these days, yeah it was gonna fail regardless.

In my opinion it was always going to be the catalog of games for linux.
And while it certainly has encouraged a move in the right direction, it simply wasn't enough for new games, and even less older ones being ported.

Linux to have the right sort of traction amongst general consumers it needs more than a reduced entry cost.
It needs more than equivalent software, it needs the same software.
Natively in my opinion, not through emulation such as Wine.
