    Valve has been secretly funding Fex, an open-source project to bring Windows games to ARM, for almost a decade

    In this age of leaks and industry insider speculation I’m very impressed they’ve kept this under wraps for so long

      They have not. I can‘t provide you the link, but it was long speculated that they are working on an ARM device. Also you cannot really hide activity in an open source project. It was just not officially communicated that these changes have been funded by Valve.

        Sure it’s been speculated, but if there were obvious signs like commits in the fex repos by valve employees then wouldn’t there have been more than speculation?
