I don’t even view Steam as being particularly innovative. They just don’t suck. It does what it’s supposed to do.
It's not innovative anymore, but it sure was when it released. But they kept it near its peak instead of making it utter horse crap.
Corporate tactic, very secret: Don't self-destruct.
But if we don’t self-destruct, how do we create value for shareholders?
No shareholders if you aren't publicly owned. Stakeholders, yeah probably, but no shareholders.
You can still have shareholders in a private company, those shares just aren't traded publicly...
I would love to learn more about Valve's actual numbers, but not enough to wish them going public and fucking up the one thing that continues to work as advertised in the world.
