Not support, on Linux 32-bit is a requirement. Creates a huge problem since it forces distros to still ship 32-bit dependencies to make sure steam can run.

Can't the dependencies just be installed with the steam client? Yes, it's ridiculous that steam isn't 64-bit, but I don't see the huge problem programs with having 32-bit dependencies. Am I missing something?
