I was almost worried steam allowed devs to opt out of steam play, that would be horrible and 90% of devs would opt out

Does anyone know what they mean by “legacy runtime environment”? Do they mean running of the host system libraries rather than Valve’s runtimes?

Previously they used library injection and redirection techniques, but the new runtimes are basically containers.
