My understanding was that a large percentage of Valve is employee owned. Would love to know if that's true or not.

That just means that buying it spreads the money to slightly more people. They're practically just as easy to acquire.

It also means that more people have to be willing to sell (or that if only a few sell, investors hold less power)
