Yeah i was hoping you could put steam games or modern games on aptitude. I dont really have much to play other then minetest and that got boring after a while. Honestly i would like any modern games. Thanks
Using Steam for more than 6 years now, never had a single problem with security.
Anyways, if you can't install Steam you might want to try GOG.com, they also have a good selection of games and don't require a client installed.
Which games, how about all games. But if I had to pick a few; Splinter Cell, Counter Strike, Quake III. I would be willing to pay, since I pay for the Windows versions.
CS:GO is in steam and Quake III arena source code is here if you want to play multiplayer with friends.
I've played Thief: deadly shadows (steam version). I haven't tried any other version. I documented how I set up WINE. Even though I don't list Thief I installed it not long after in the same setup. wine and winetricks are originally on Linux so don't let the OS I did it on distract you.

Hi sag47.
If ever I buy the GOG Thief series, I will try it with Wine\POL.
Has anyone ever tryed this with Raspbian/Jessie on a PI2
re: apt-get install steam
I have and there's no package for it. Steam and the Linux games therein were compiled for x86 architectures. Therefore, there's no steam (and no accompanying steam games) for ARM processors as far as I know. Unless the game developers open their source or offer an ARM compatible build (unlikely).
