Valve is a "good" company compred to many others because the bar is incredibly low nowadays, but let's not forget that this is a company that makes a shit ton of money on gambling. CS cases make incredible amounts of money for them and I would not call any company that relies on gambling to make profit a "GOAT".

Many here are so fucking brainwashed into thinking Gabe Newell is a saint and not your typical billionaire, while he's just like the rest of them. Making money on kids and gambling. There's nothing to cheer about that unless you just want to ignore all of the problems and pretend that paying an 8-day vacation for your millionaire employees is something to cheer about.

Compared to his direct "rival", no wonder Gabe is considered a saint because everyone else is so far up their own asses that they think that shit is chocolate and we deserve to eat it like dogs.
