This is a weird point, and concerning if it is true, because it seems to assume Arch's rolling release model is a bad model that the Arch team are forced into due to lack of funds, whereas for most of us it is in fact one of the main reasons to use Arch. As another commenter mentioned, the rolling release model is one of the reasons why Valve chose Arch, so hopefully this comment in the article is just misinformed. But there is a concern IMO that once Arch starts to look how Valve want it to look, they will try and influence the project to move to a more Debian-like release model (so that they have to worry less about breaking changes). Of course whether they can successfully influence the project in that way is another thing.
