I want to know...
Can steam and it's games run on a chromebook? same with Blockland?
I thought it wouldn't be possible, since Chromebooks have their own OS.

You can get Linux for the Chromebook, and install Steam on it. Amount of games for Linux on Steam are fairly limited, all Valve games are available on Linux though

You can install linux on the chromebook and use wine to play the game.

Don't get a chromebook if you want to play games on it, it's pretty much specifically meant for web stuff only.

You're going to have to buy a Chromebook with a non-ARM processor to be able to run Steam or Wine.
