Valve Is Now Giving Away Their Games To Ubuntu Developers

[Cann]

It's not like Valve is forcing anyone to do anything for them; besides, is that really a bad thing?

Should the OS be optimised to the software or the software to the OS?

Valve is a game developer who hires the best game developers in the industry[...]

"Best" in this case is highly subjective and irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Not to mention, they have driver developers working closely with them to help optimize and fix bugs in their drivers, [...]

Optimisations which are in this case for improving their own games' performance rather than the general performance.

Would you prefer EA or Ubisoft?

Neither. Both are for DRM.

I believe many of these optimizations improve general purpose performace too.
