      Companies like valve, but not valve, they deserve criticism but not this one. They have worked and invested a lot in open source projects for compatibility with windows apps and graphics performance in general.

      Since videogames are very popular nowadays, their work and active support is really valuable to attract and retain users.

      Why? I’m really curious why you think that. Or what do you mean with this comment.

        Steam policies are against everything linux stand for. It’s a closed source third party launcher where they rent games under DRM and steal all sort of data while doing so. Valve created a small monopoly in wich videogames makers are abducted in routing their games through their useless launcher to get some visibility. They also abducted people to install their proprietary app to play certain games.

          This is going to be a surprise to you, but proprietary software is indeed allowed to exist on Linux.
