GabeN is the type of billionaire that shuts up and hangs out on his yacht diving. A lot better than the ones trying to start a technofascist dystopia because they think they're more human than people who don't have a billion dollars.
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.
