Desura is a digital distribution platform that is coming soon to Linux. It is important primarily as a plausible source of future growth in a market dominated by Valve's Steam platform (Steam does support Linux). However, Scott Reismanis, the founder of DesuraNET does not consider it a competitor, but rather attempt to address a different segment of the market. Content hosted on Desura primarily falls into the category of indie games, games by small developers who do not have the name to negotiate deals with Steam and Valve's policies. It believes its tighter links to a dedicated community will foster better relationships between player and developer.
