But Steam as a platform pushes linux, because the Steam box is linux-based.

They do what now? AFAIK steam itself doesn't care of your game or application is windows only, I don't beleive they incentivize multiplatform support.

They do push for making more games easily playable on Linux, but they aren't pushing the game developers to release for it.

Sadly, SteamOS is so dead that they quietly removed their catalog links to the OEMs supporting it.

If SteamOS is dead, why are they hiring engineers for it?

<<If the patient is dead, why are their dcotors being called>>

Snark aside I have no idea how to interpret this. It sounds like you are suggesting they are hiring developers to do a post mortem??

It's merely a metapher and you want to know metaphers paranoid(ly?) all the time?

It's clearly a metaphor. It just doesn't make any sense in this context. Neither does this reply. I _think_ you're trying to say that they're paranoid for questioning your metaphor? Your unusual grammar is difficult to understand, but you're coming across as a bit hostile.

aha, so you're good at interpreting?

Are you able to Google "non violent communication".

You know that I'm german and think I"m not smart, or what?

Or is this a misinterpretation?
