You literally mentioned iOS above. And my point stands. If Gabe were to start porting those games to a Linux phone of some sort, it would really help that platform, much like he’s helped the Linux community and his own business interests.
Him going after Microsoft benefits everybody. Him going after Apple could do the same.
I understand this was motivated by his businesses interests. But it’s happens to benefit others as well. Value working to make Linux phones more viable is a bit of a pipe dream but it would certainly whip Google and Apple into shape. And that was my point.
I think you missed the point. No one was talking about Android or iOS. We were talking about Windows and Linux.
Valve’s investment in Linux began back in the Windows Vista days when MS tried to control Windows the same way that Apple does with iOS.

It’s literally called an analogy. It was not literally the subject of the conversation.
You’re still literally demonstrating that you don’t understand the motive of supporting Linux, despite me literally just explaining it.
Gabe literally does not care about the platform, he cares about protecting his revenue stream. Making Linux phones would literally not do that.
