Well, no. If it actually happens, Bazzite can’t exist. Valve only releases 32bit of Steam for the official client. If support for 32bit is removed from Fedora, then gamers won’t be able to use Steam on Fedora or its downstream distros.
And what if Valve starts releasing 64bit version?
According to that thread, when Ubuntu tried this, Valve refused to provide a 64bit version. But if they suddenly decided to, then I think the answer to your question would be obvious.
So it's actually the whole cause of the issue? If Valve shifts to 64bit then there would be no issue? Or is there a limitation that would then prevent 32bit games from working?
