Netflix in SteamOS and Linux via Steam Client???? Please

[Voidstorm]

One thing I'd like to see working nativly in Linux is Netflix, or anything that uses Silverlight like Amazon prime videos. Even android has Netflix, and linux really doesn't unless you run windows in a virtual machine.

If you guys could get Netflix to work in the steam client browser in Linux and SteamOS. I would be very greatful. I don't care if you got exlusive browser rights in the linux platform, it would awsome to have Netflix nativly in linux via Steam client or in SteamOS.

Yeah but that seems different. It's talking about watching netflix when playing a game. I want it to work in Linux like it does in Android or chromeOS (both based on linux)

If Valve did that, they'd gain the entire Linux communities support. Might only be 2-3 percent in the PC market, but that's still millions of people. Who'd come here to watch videos using their netflix or Amazon account and they'd be exposed to steam and would buy linux Games or applications from them.

I'd exclusivly use SteamOS if I could use compiz at get all the cool effects, and they'd have the advantage of being the only brand of linux who'd have a licence to use silverlight and other proprietary software like ChromOS does.
