1. I haven't contacted Valve directly it looks like they are playing nice with other distros, which are not using Unity. For example they change the license to make it distributable, remove apt-get dependency autoinstall, post non-dpkg installer, give people who explicitly stated they are not using Ubuntu early beta access etc. I haven't experienced any problems with Valve games on Gentoo (I've experienced a few problems with non-Valve games though and I needed to use Google). 2. To at least some extend Unity is based on GNOME (not WM and few other pieces). I don't think that should be argument against trying - in the worse case we simply won't receive reply.
