Valve is a wonderful upstream contributor to Linux and the open-source community
Valve is a darling. Not simply because of steam (though, that enables them) but because from HL1, they truly cared about making good games, providing gamers a platform for good, working on problems outside their wheelhouse (Linux, VR, etc) for the betterment of gamers.Seriously. Yeah give them flak for steam’s store policies and such but Valve has always cared about gamers. They just don’t have the means to do it all (maybe they do?). I’m a fan. Not for HL1 or 2, not for Portal or TF2, not for CS, but for their never ending support on making sure “gaming” can be enjoyed by all.
