    Hiring people and letting the community work on Proton isn’t a good thing

    How so? They literally hire people to work on Proton. That’s exactly how FOSS should work as it relates to for-profit companies. Source:

    Griffais says the company is also directly paying more than 100 open-source developers to work on the Proton compatibility layer

    So they may not be Valve employees, but they’re paid by Valve (I suppose as contractors?), which is essentially the same thing. So it seems they’re throwing money at the problem, and reserving their internal talent to work on the graphics stack.

      Again, one company controls the entire development process for even allowing games to play on Linux. It should never come to this.
