Valve has done some good things for the game industry: they encouraged modifications, and made some good games.

However, I feel as if the gaming community praises Valve too much.

  • The gaming community praises Valve’s monopoly on game distribution services.

That’s about it though.

    I think Valve’s main contribution was to push DXVK as the main driver of Linux graphics. It’s a huge game changer.

    It’s a symbiotic relationship: Valve benefitted from years of accumulated knowledge in the Wine project and now contributes to it. I hope more companies do the same.
