Public bug reported: I noticed the following community member had a problem installing steam. I reproduced it on 16.04.3 clean install i386 and amd64.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NH3Ry22Dg Install 16.04 amd64 or i386 Install all updates via software updater Open Ubuntu Software Search for steam. No results for Steam found. Yet steam is in the repository as an i386 deb - but it doesn't show up in Ubuntu Software on either amd64 or i386 installs.
