>>714199221you are really fucking naive anon
it doesn't matter if a company is privately owned if the CEO is still a greedy bastard. There is no other gaming CEO that would pocket as much money from a company and live in such a luxury as Gaben does, and it's ridiculous how many people uniornically see him as some humble game dev, especially when he literally never even actually worked on any of Valve's games. He is an ex-microsoft businessman who found a market gap in the pc game scene and it's distribution a bit sooner than others did, and now taxes 1/3 of pc gaming industry's revenue indifinitely, while you own nothing and you will be happy
