No, I said could they make money NOT depending on MS. I didn't create a scenario where Windows doesn't exist.

MS brought the audience, Valve depends on it.

That's history. The audience is already here, and it's not going away no matter what happens to Microsoft.

We can sit and debate the history of MS's contribution to the PC audience all day, and I agree it is a valuable contribution. But that doesn't really matter nowadays.

Well my point is Valve depends on MS.

Nintendo for example doesn't. But Valve does.

You have a weird concept of dependency. A company is not dependent on another when its products would be able to exist and sell if the other company ceased existing.
