By Microsoft's loss and gamers' gain I mean that Linux used to be nonviable to play games, but Valve put a lot of effort into making games work on Linux (and continues to do so). They saw (and maybe still see?) Microsoft as a threat to Valve's future.
So now gamers have gained another platform to play games!

Yes! this is competition at its finest, right? It is also what I was talking about in my original comment.

Yup, this is definitely a good thing. Yes gamers get another platform and hopefully gets MS to focus on Windows to make it better and less hostile to users.
Gamers are also quite vicious and they will tarnish the reputation of anything that doesn't work well for them. Let's see how Linux will fare in their hands.
