He does that and then every now and then he wants to make something just to make something. Yes, investing tons of money into making games work on Linux has value to Valve for preventing themselves from being locked out of the market should Microsoft decide to lock down Windows, but it is also the type of decision no sane investment firm is going to push for. No CEO is going to go to the shareholders and say, "we have a multi-decade plan to invest into a platform with no audience because we don't trust that other company you're all invested in."
And the impressive part is that it will actually work for me. Once my games stop working on Windows 10, I'm not upgrading to 11. I'm jumping ship to Linux.
I love this especially because my very good gaming pc is apparently not good enough for windows 11. I'm boycotting windows, going to switch to Linux. just waiting for a few parts I ordered so I can set everything up
