    Around $3.5 Million per employee, nearly 5x the next highest company, which is Facebook at around $780,000 per employee.

    that’s a bullshit metric only useful to incite hatred. why the fuck do you want to say that valve is “this many times worse than facebook!”? it is obviously false.

    only thing this proves is that they have relatively few employees. which also probably means that most of them do real work instead of being overloaded with managers

      The numbers just show that they are 8x as efficient. I only referenced Facebook because they’re the next closest company for comparison.

      I never said they were worse than Facebook. That’s your assumption, reading what you want, not what’s actually being said.

          Which is also one of the reasons so few new things get done, and why they (until now) haven’t been able to count to 3.

          To get anything done you either have to be able to do it entirely by yourself which is unlikely, or get enough others organized and on board to make it happen.

            What? Valve released CS2 like last year? They do stuff all the time. They have like three games they’re actively maintaining while making HL3 and three new pieces of tech? This is a wild, unfounded take and feels ideologically bound.
