I think it's because it's filled with competent people who genuinely like what they do. I definitely see that in their hardware division at least. Money isn't so corrupting if it's a tool to enable what you do and not the focus.

    The entire company is somewhere between 300-500 people.

    It literally fits into a few floors of a tower in Bellevue.

    Meanwhile... Microsoft essentially bought the land area of a mid sized US city, and turned it into a sprawling corporate complex.

    ... and that is just their main campus.

    Microsoft literally runs a private shuttlebus system in the Seattle-Bellevue-Issaquah area, to get people into and out of their campuses.

    They then also have local private taxi services to get people from one building in a larger campus, to another.

    There's your scale difference.

    Microsoft is essentially a semi-sovereign entity, occupies substantial territoty, got their own police too.

    ... Valve has something like 5-10 concurrent floors in a single building that is basically on top of a shopping mall.
