Valve has stated they want to bring the community closer together for buying/selling/trading of goods. I would expect they would make their money that way. I doubt they would dump DirectX completely. They've reworked the engine for linux to not care if it's running DirectX or OpenGL. Leaving this intact could provide a way to eventually port to Android/iOS and other mobile platforms? Valve has stated they want to get into the mobile space but have seemed to fail thus far. I recall them mentioning Linux was a natural step to go from Win Desktop -> Mac -> Linux to Mobile running Linux (Android)

At least one Valve game will be running on Android soon, Portal is coming for the Nvidia Shield in the next few days: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/8/5695340/portal-nvidia-shield-release-date http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/8/5695340/portal-nvidia-shield... It looks like Nvidia is handling the port themselves, though, so who knows what that means for other Valve titles. EDIT: Well, apparently Half-Life 2 is getting ported next. So Valve games are coming to Android, although only for Nvidia Shield users so far. http://www.androidcentral.com/half-life-2-coming-nvidia-shield http://www.androidcentral.com/half-life-2-coming-nvidia-shie...
