For now. My guess is that one of the reasons Valve has been working so hard on the Linux gaming front is the fear of this changing.

- toyg 6y agoYes, Valve steered towards Linux right at the time Microsoft made some noise about privileging its store, when they were bent on mimicking Apple in all things. MS seem to have come to their senses later on, but by then Valve had built too much stuff to throw it all away. This should really be a case study: don’t piss off your customers and developers before you have all your ducks in a row. Something that clearly others have not learnt, e.g. RedHat with their CentOS fumble a few weeks ago.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoYou're saying they may take an Apple approach and attempt to further scare people from downloading trusted .exe's and such? I think Microsoft has been having a bit of a change in attitude just because they're more focused on making money in software. They don't care where you buy it so much as they get a chunk of it somewhere. But what do I know.
