I don't know, but assumed that Valve doesn't require studios to recompile their software or use any special tooling, it's basically just packaging of existing executables. This is also why they do Windows on Linux emulation.

They don't. They use WINE, which as the name says, Is Not an Emulator. :D

(I'll let my pedantic self out now)

  • despite the funny backronym, Wine actually IS a WINdows Emulator. Someone apparently told them that it's only called an emulator if it's emulating a CPU architecture, but that's not true.
