It's hard to be mad when they shove a load of that money to improve pc gaming and boost Linux compability .

I honestly didn't make a Steam account until they came to Linux, because that's when I saw value in the platform. They didn't even have Proton or anything, I just liked being able to find Linux-compatible games. When Proton came, I started spending a ton on the platform, and that's around the time Humble Bundle started sucking (I used to pay way more than the minimum if it had good Linux bundles).

So I'm doing my part to reward Valve for investing in Linux.

Epic, GOG, etc could have won my business by doing what Valve did, but Epic does the opposite and GOG only gives lip service.
