I would argue the flat management makes it hard for Valve to produce things and they should re-evaluate it, but you can do this while also not turning into a rank and yank shit out fortnite clones 420 69 flossing scheme to fuck over users and line their pockets.

Unless they fuck it up somehow in recruiting a new CEO, Valve really wouldn’t find it hard to ask a new CEO “Here’s our revenue, and our expenses, our profits. How would you keep this in place without crashing our revenue stream and maybe doing new greenfield stuff?”

If their first words are: “Well, I like the idea of charging our customers an install fee…” you know to keep looking.

My concern is his son despite having this shit DRILLED INTO HIS HEAD (which I can’t guarantee) will chase a cashout. That’s the one problem with nepos.

The other problem is if he’s qualified for the job. Which feeds into point 1.

Its really hard to get a look inside Valve, because I can’t confirm/deny the Steam Deck came about because of the flat management. I’ll be honest, my apprehension about their management stems from the many failed attempts to conclude the franchise they started in Half-Life and how 20 different projects died to get to Alyx. Would a change in leadership get us more of the same? Maybe. It would probably be a substandard product, and i’m still recovering from Starfield being mid.

Well his name didn’t show up in Epstein’s public records (unlike a certain CEO from a company Microsoft bought/CEO that founded/ran Microsoft) so we’re fine there.

And I did look. Extensively.

It’s a good sign because 1) He’s smart enough to not have a paper trail and/or 2) His hobbies are innocuous, like, I think he really only cares about submersibles and knives and he wasn’t stabbing people on some carbon fiber tube near the titanic so he’s not a dumbass either.

I know right, its almost like the dumbass in charge at Tesla is a different person than the one in charge at Valve!

A Republican in the US desperately wants something like a monarchy, where they can kiss someone’s boot forever.

This looks incredibly unsafe and heavy to use by anyone
