why was steam removed from games?

hijacking the thread a bit... Has anyone actually looked at the package from a technical point of view? Even if we got permissions to distribute this I'd still consider it very ugly and hardly acceptable. /usr/bin/steam is just a shell script that extracts the tarball that contains the actual binary to your home and then runs the binary from there.

This thread (http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846939854324291029/) could be of interest to this technical discussion.

Also from the legal point of view, there was an article on Phoronix about it http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIyOTI
