    You are right, but let me add that Gabe knows that being tied to Windows is not a good idea, as he worked there and understood that they would block Steam if they could.

    Valve supporting ‘their’ alternative OS, away from Microsoft (and Apple) or any other direct competitor in gaming is the only way to survive.

    It’s not like they pour all that money into Linux from the goodness of their heart. They need their own OS just as much as the Linux desktop community needs some stable funding.

    Given how Valve lets children gamble with skins, I’m not sure how moral that company really is.
