    One word: Linux.

    Valve’s contributions have singlehandedly revolutionized the Linux gaming scene. They’re the only reason I can play most of the games I own. I don’t worship them, exactly, but I do think very highly of them.

      This for sure. Making games easily accessible on linux have lead to a lot of people not having to deal with windows anymore.
      It is the same effect as a kidnapping victim beeing grateful when someone comes to release them fom the torture rack. It is not strange that valve gets a lot of goodwill from their actions.
      Would i sish more people did as steam does? Ofcourse! But none do, so we are grateful for steam. I think they saved pc gaming. And not only for linux.
