What does Valve ship without x86?
2 comments

Nothing yet, but the upcoming Steam Frame VR headset is ARM based. The relevant detail is they're bankrolling the open source FEX x86 emulator, with the goal of bringing the whole Steam back-catalogue to ARM systems.
Now that Google and Apple have to (more-or-less) allow other app stores, I wonder if Valve is bankrolling FEX with the intent of selling games on mobile?
The Steam Link was ARM-based.
