I don't think this is true I think Gaben owns it
not to give any capitalists too much credit but often privately held companies will make better decisions for consoomers than traded companies which are gonna have an array of varying levels of rabidly money hungry capitalists calling the shots. like as if epic games would ever put out something like steam families.
Hmm okay so from what I can tell they've never released info about who owns it and everybody is just speculating or citing one Forbes article that says that Gabe owns "50% or more."
What I was thinking of was something Yanis Varoufakis said in an interview with Hasan Piker, where Hasan asked if Valve was a still cooperative and Varoufakis said "not really... Valve today is very different to when I was there in 2011/2012," so maybe it was at one point or maybe it never was and Hasan was mistaken too, I dunno.
