Or, you could say Valve took the work of thousand of open-source dev and saw an opportunity to turn it into profit. I’m not saying they didn’t contribute, but the only reason is because they saw a opportunity to make money, they don’t care about Linux.













I can’t understand the amount of energy people spend defending Valve.
I get it, you like video games (so do I) and steam is a convenient platform for transactions.
But, in the end it’s just another dirty capitalist business that only cares about one thing: MAKING MONEY. They literally invented gambling for kids, got watch the coffeezila video about it and they take 30% of any game sold while having sub 300 employees. It’s pretty much the most profitable business per employee in the US.
They do not care about video games, about linux, about the fact that their home country is turning into a fascist state, and most of all, they don’t give a fuck about all the gamers that keeps posting about how great they are. They would change they business model to sell bbq sauce tomorrow if the believe they could make more money out of it. And each time someone points that out, even here, it gets downvoted lol.
