“single-handedly” lmao, as if newell is the guy doing all the work and not the valve employees who work for him… or, yknow, the contributors to all the open-source projects steamos is built on
proton and steamos would be nowhere today without the decades of work by the WINE/DXVK contributors, and the myriad of other open-source projects that make Linux into what it is. all valve did was add their proprietary client on top of that (as well as fund the development of proton, tbf, i’m thankful for them on that one… but again, that work was done by valve employees and contributors, not the billionaire CEO)
proton without newell is proton, but with maybe a different direction
proton without valve’s workers and WINE/DXVK contributors is nothing. it’s literally nothing.
the same goes for basically any projects. the billionaire CEOs are (sometimes, not even always!) the people who take decisions. everyone else does the work. without the CEOs, the same projects would have decisions taken in other ways. without the workers, there would be nothing.

He’s the one who makes all the decisions. That’s what matters here.
And Proton wouldn’t exist at all without Valve.
That’s completely false.
The billionaire is the one who told them to do it.
So what? They would have eventually done it without him.
LOL what? You can’t be serious…
