This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Same might be true for Valve, but at the very least we can clearly observe them sacrificing extra profits for a tiny minority of Linux users.

Considering the Steam Deck exists, which necessitates Linux support, I'm fairly certain Valve is actively making profit from Linux support.

Which is a perfectly fine thing to do, and I really like it. But it's not exactly altruism that's driving their investments

It's not altruistic, but it's also not the behavior of a publicly traded company lol

Valve is a privately owned company though?
