People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.
More, please!
Steam is big in there too. It makes sense for both companies because they make their money from content.
If an animation or game development team/studio can produce better quality content, cheaper and faster, that just means more money for the company providing access to said content.
They constantly do, it's just for less flashy stuff like drivers or kernels so no one cares.
