The hell do you mean "barely did anything for the Linux gaming scene"? Listen, I'm up to my neck with Linux gamer crybabies always bitching about how someone doesn't throw them a bone, for years. Valve is doing Linux gamers a great service and since Linux was all about free-this and open source that, DRM-free is at least a thing. Fucking can't please whiny Linux gamers.

You're missing the point. DRM free is something I respect, both as a Linux gamer and as a gamer overall. But what's important is that a game runs before I get to bitch about DRM. Valve has done strides to make games work on Linux and I respect that. What I'm saying is GOG could do it too and it would fit their business model more than Valve's.
