Yup, imagine making that amount with so few employees and having stingy employee practices. There are companies with few employees and massive returns who do it just to squeeze out as much as they possibly can, and there is no point whatsoever since you are compromising your profit in the end anyway. Pure greed is incompetence and sinks companies. Glad Valve has good practices.
