But valve company do good thing.
But selfish reason.
But good outcome.
But what if no GabeN.

Hahaha thanks for this. I really find it fascinating how bad CEOs make lemmy think all companies are bad. It makes no sense.
Blame the system maybe, I get that. But good grief we are all trying to make a living. The only way to do it is to do business. Like any system, it will be exploited, but I'm not gonna shit on private companies especially who clearly have a vision and don't need investor snobs to drive them to commit evil.
Thats funny because shareholders are deeply involved in Valve, and those shareholders frequently decide which products get investment and which don't.
Which stockholders? Valve does have some, but it doesn't appear that they are published and are probably mostly employees since it's not publicly traded. Maybe you're saying that like game publisher stockholders from EA and such are involved in decision making at Valve? That seems plausible but it doesn't seem like they'd have a ton of power over operations, more just some negotiating power.
