  Revenue per employee is not that employee’s salary. Pick your jaw up from your keyboard the next time you are insulting me.

    Wolfire estimated that Valve had roughly 360 employees (a number likely sourced from Valve itself in 2016) and that per-employee profit was around $15 million per year.

    Even if that $15 million number isn’t exactly right, Valve, in its public employee handbook, says that “our profitability per employee is higher than that of Google or Amazon or Microsoft.” A document from the Wolfire lawsuit revealed Valve employees discussing just how much higher — though the specific number for Valve employees is redacted.

    If you don’t want to be insulted than don’t blindly dick ride a corporation.

      You are grade A braindead. Once again, that is not the employee salary. That is how fucken Gabe is buying yachts. Jfc, go take a business class or swipe a Business for Dumbies at a bookstore. Thats how much each of their employees makes them. Not how much each of their employees are personally paid.

        Great! So in the context of the conversation, you then agree with me that Valve is an worse company definitely not worthy of praise since they can afford to make all their employees multimillionaire but instead keep it for themselves.

        Glad we can agree on the entire fucking point of this thread. That valve is a greedy company not worth praising or dick riding.
