Never said it was.
I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don't. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.
I've been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.
What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) "one" good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?
