Steam App for Kindle Fire

[molly_zero]

I really wanted to play Block'hood or Banished on my new Kindle Fire (because most Amazon game apps are, lets face it, pretty naff, and those 2 games would lend themselves especially well to relaxing in bed before going to sleep), so I installed the Steam app from the Amazon App Store. After 2 days of faffing about, I finally discover from Steam suport that it isn't for playing Steam games on the Kindle at all - just does remote downloads, chat & shopping!!! Such a waste.
Is there any possibility that it could be made more useful?

Seeing as how the steam games are not for the OS thats on the kindle, you would not be able to play them. you would need to convince every game maker to port their games over to the kindle OS which will not happen.

The number of people who would use a game on linux is far more then what would use it on a kindle and not many games have ported over to linux. So its just not worth their time to port the game over to a kindle. At least Macs and Linux uses the same hardware as a PC, unlike a kindle does so it would be a very expensive rebuild of the game.
