Valve is paying for FOSS support https://www.igalia.com/2025/11/helpingvalve.html

Interesting topic, but the random usage of “AI” to do things because they did not want to x, followed by them doing x anyways a paragraph down was weird. Also all the xitter LinkedIn style posts and pages of slop code made it awful to read…

They, as far as I’m aware, are not reselling like private equity would. They actually take over operations and get ROI through profits.
