yup and there are already some java games on Steam.

e.g. Altitude

@princec ah great to see you made it on there

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

can anyone share a little about his experience getting his game on steam? 
do you know if there is any plan to support the JVM directly in steam instead of having to bundle it with your game? like altitude does?
is there any chance to make an open source project for a binding to the steam api, or because of the private nature of the api it is forbidden? (from what I know, they dont show you the api until they accept your game for distribution with steam)

maybe you princec if you already have a game accepted, or the developers of Altitude if they read this forum?

p.s. loved altitude, and all the games from puppygames

Dunno yet. I wouldn't rely on any embedded JVM except for Mac Steam.
