Debian is about stability and it's mainly for server and embedded. If you want latest and greatest go with Arch or Antergos or Manjaro (which are pretty good for gaming as far as they tell).

Steam games are officially supported on Ubuntu and SteamOS.
Debian based distributions are most popular,
Debian has many fast servers around the world
and Debian testing is stable and compatible.

There is a difference between "Steam is supported on debian based distributions" and "Steam is supported on ALL debian based distribution". While the latter is wrong and you would have been very right to issue an interjection to oppose it, it appears that the former is still right.
Mostly because, well, Steam is supported on a few number of distributions, all of them being, well, debian based.

It may be too subtle for you but I, as I man of culture I can sense it.
His claim was overstating the amount of debian-based distros supported by steam, that's where he is wrong.
