Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve’s push for Linux gaming.

    Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

      yeah 30% is a lot. Like lawyer level but honestly considering some places do even more or have at times and at least its within reason. Barely so but there is precedence. Still would love to see 20, 10 or even 5. 5 is the other end of the spectrum from a third in that its not very reasonable to expect it to be any less and still receive any value at all.
