What does this mean for Nvidia and AMD?

  Nothing. The people that buy 250 watt, 300mm^2 GPUs to play games will continue to buy them.

    Battlefield dabbler - my 7970 confirms anecdotally.

    Yep, they'll buy from one of them. How will they choose? I think free drivers will become important. But maybe I'm wrong, and they'll just get the one that consume more watts.

  They probably have more pressure to invest in Linux driver development.

  I guess, as long as this is kept as an open platform, even in the case that they can't get in the official build, they could still create alternative steam-compatible builds.
