no, especially not. After messing/locking down gaming for 2 decades and people having doing the job in porting/reverse engineer their API, etc... they will simply exploit it without any effort.

MSFT is evil, it does not "love" opensource (which is only TS and .NET), it just came with their massive war treasure and eat the effort of people while having been the MAIN responsible of slowing down innovation!

They pretend they love FOSS. "Look, we own GitHub, the biggest FOSS code sharing platform!". Of course, because you bought it you morons.

For the love of God, please Valve never sell out. I love the current state of things and every day I dread someone might get a bad idea and fuck it all up for the rest of us to enrich himself.

I am not sure if there are any failsafes in the BoD at Valve, but I am sure as long as Gabe is at the helm, we are all safe.

only millennials and JS soyboy devs think that MSFT is good opensource boy, they didn't grow up during while Ballmer/Gates were in charge and didn't notice how nasty MSFT was for the computing and still is.
