From Samsung, supporting linux is not exactly a new trend as they are among the funding members of the Linux Mobile foundation and were silver members of the Linux foundation before the discussed story.

Companies are realizing that Microsoft doesnt have what it takes to maintain a good desktop user experience. They have introduced Metro and UEFI, both aim to reduce the power of the user on their devices. Perhaps Samsung and Valve realized they as suppliers of programs/hardware need more to say in a future computer market.

Adding to this, I've heard Electronic Arts released two games on Ubuntu Market as well. Anyway, this growing interest targeting general user is overall good for Linux.

They are HTML 5 games that were already in the Chrome store [1]. It ended up being a big story of nothing.
