Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.
Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We’d carry on.
I see a lot that people that aren’t all that familiar with Linux haven’t understood that Linux gaming exists outside of steam, and that Steam proton has been upstreamed to benefit all Linux gaming.
