@atomicpoet @whynothugo you claimed above it was "sudden" what's more Valve has binned many projects that seem core to their brand including half life 3. You've got a paranoid narrative that doesn't fit any evidence and a series of claims that aren't supported by history. It's more likely the newel will sell Valve (which isn't likely) than it is he's got a long term strategy to "corner the open source market by (checks notes) not locking developers into it, nor requiring them to support it"

Valve's stance on Linux isn't new, and isn't a strategy. Vavle doesn't require Linux support or even really encourage it. I'm not sure where this fear mongering is coming from, but it's not based in any rational analysis.
