Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.

Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We’d carry on.

They would still pretend. And, though it would solve a lot of problems, it would remove purpose for so many people.

I work with a guy who suddenly developed this in the middle of a call. I had to help him back to the office, stopping so he could puke a couple times. He was gone for a while and I don’t think he ever got rid of it.

And it’s still a brick, lol.

Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?
