       Description: Steam isn't available on OpenBSD, this article explains
       why
       
       # Introduction
       
       There is a very common question within the OpenBSD community, mostly
       from newcomers: "How can I install Steam on OpenBSD?".
       
       The answer is: You can't, there is no way, this is impossible, period.
       
       
       # Why?
       
       Steam is a closed source program, while it's now also available on
       Linux doesn't mean it run on OpenBSD.  The Linux Steam version is
       compiled for linux and without the sources we can't port it on OpenBSD.
       
       Even if Steam was able to be installed and could be launched, games are
       not made for OpenBSD and wouldn't work either.
       
       On FreeBSD it may be possible to install Windows Steam using Wine, but
       Wine is not available on OpenBSD because it require some specific
       Kernel memory management we don't want to implement for security
       reasons (I don't have the whole story), but FreeBSD also has a Linux
       compatibility mode to run Linux binaries, allowing to use programs
       compiled for Linux.  This linux emulation layer has been dropped in
       OpenBSD a few years ago because it was old and unmaintained, bringing
       more issues than helping.
       
       So, you can't install Steam or use it on OpenBSD.  If you need Steam,
       use a supported operating system.
       
       I wanted to make an article about this in hope my text will be well
       referenced within search engines, to help people looking for Steam on
       OpenBSD by giving them a reliable answer.
