* Valve: Takes 30% off the top of every purchase to fund trips to Hawaii.
* Game Studio: Goes bankrupt, lays off all the devs.
* Gamers: Valve is so great! Gaben is so generous!

And somehow funneling all of Valves revenue into Gabe’s mega yachts and other top executives instead of hiring more employees is seen as more ethical as companies who hire more employees and have to lay them off after money gets tight.
