That’s the beauty of it - Valve has done generous and miraculous things for Linux, using their money to fund work towards a common goal of both the users and their corporation.

But it doesn’t go away if they do. Valve cannot close Pandora’s box. The compatibility layers are open and accessible to the community and cannot be taken away.
