I have bought games on steam that I already owned and played on other platforms, just because I wanted to support the dev and have a copy on a reliable platform. But with recent developements I do wonder more and more how long it will stay reliable.

I was thinking of developments in the industry as a whole. Valve themselves have been the only beacon of hope, but for how long.

Probably supporting Linux and open source is now evil or so.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm a big fan of Valve's efforts, it's just that they are the only ones right now and I'm wondering how long until they too fall like the rest of the industry.
