Valve is a company that garnishes 30% of all video games sales. It doesn’t matter what their corporate structure is at that point. It could be two guys with buckets on their heads and they’d make bank.
Could it though? EA sells a ton of videogames and makes fat stacks yet somehow still fucks up regularly. Same as Ubisoft, which, last time I checked, tanked their stock value with several shitty releases…
They definitely know how to make customers happy, something EA never understood, but I’m old enough to remember a different time. Valve used to be horrible 15 years ago. They’d sell you broken games with no return system. They’d straight up delete games out of your library with no recourse, amounting to outright theft. The EU rolled out regulations targeting Steam’s shady practices. They’ve been okay since.
Well, isn’t Valve a company with pretty much no hierarchy where everyone is mostly equal, bar Gabe?
I mean, due to their structure, I can see an excuse for them.
