Quoting: mylkahow much is VALVE contributing?
since the steam deck and soon steam machine, both with KDE they should have a strong interest, that KDE is as good as it can get

i mean 300k is nothing for valve
According to KDE no more than 67000$ straight to KDE, [External Link] which isn't unexpected Valve is rich enough that it can afford to spend the money it spends straight on developers who make just improvements that suit them.
Also Valve is a notoriously opaque organization.
They don't publish investor reports, due to their private cooperation structure.
They don't really talk to the press.
They tend to hire subcontractors to do the dirty and visible work for them. Yes, I'm looking at you Codeweavers.
In KDE's case they hired Igalia to carry the blame for contributing to KDE, but how much of that time is bought by Valve and how much by others is unknown to me.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
