The OpenXR standard (created entirely by Valve and HTC) is open to everyone, alongside their SteamOS work for the Steam Deck (with the sole exception of the steam client).

Yes, it is a decision that they can make, but I personally don’t consider it unreasonable or irrational. They allow almost all of the other fruits of their labor to be used, and have no problems with things like fan derivative works.

Valve doesn’t mind allowing the competition to use some of their more critical contributions such as Proton (and SteamOS code outside of the store/client launcher), so I don’t consider their situation problematic at all. Heck, competition (such as GOG) can have their users take advantage constantly by having their games load through Proton.

Lol, sorry for not being a bot - this dude’s just been posting the same shitty takes on almost all of my sub feed, so I enjoy calling them out. They’re human tho, since they did craft responses that weren’t slop at least.

Hello again, inflammatory human utilizing a robotic facade.

Have you said anything positive in your post history? Or do we need to wait for rev. 10?
