> A significant negotiation took place late last year on Valve's side. Given its use of AMD hardware and experience, Valve attempted to engage with the HDMI Forum leadership to gain approval for the open-source implementation. ... Valve's SteamOS uses open-source AMD GPU driver components because the Steam Machine runs on an AMD RDNA 3 GPU, and the company's negotiations seem to have done their part. Gaben be praised!
