    I mean, cool.

    I don’t need Valve to be a moustache-twirling cartoon villain to not like them having a monopolistic position. They make a great platform, I generally like their hardware and, much as it is a byproduct of them trying to cut Microsoft out of the loop, I think it’s great that they are basing their efforts on Linux.

    They still shouldn’t become the sole platform for PC gaming, though, and that means they should lose some market share.

    You really, really, really don’t need to pick a side between multibillion dollar corporations and support it like it’s a sports team.

      So CD Project could take a tiny fraction of their massive Cyberpunk earnings and make GOG Galaxy with Proton integration available on Linux.

      No, it has nothing to do with sports. Picking the vendor that invests into making an open source alternative to Windows viable is pure egoism. Their contributions will have a positive effect long into the future of PC gaming.
