Valve is a whole company of people like Gaben.

Do you know everybody who works there and what their ambitions are?

Also, nothing is impossible when you can deploy thepower of acquisition lol i’m less worried about them internally polluting themselves and more about externally being destroyed. We’ve seen this over and over again.

Apparently 50%+ of the company belongs to Gabe himself, presumably he would pass it on to some very trusted. That makes a hostile takeover pretty unlikely.

He could just turn it into a nonprofit at some point with some specific rules in place about how certain things are handled within the company.
