> Even though Gabe is formally CEO he from his own words was barelly controllibg company for years. He spend more time on his other projects.
The time he spends on Valve day to day is irrelevant to the question of what would happen if those actually running the company decided to do something stupid like taking games away from people vs. what would happen in the same scenario without Gabe around.
> Many of people on the team are just rich enough already and they dont need to go and cash out.
Rich people are largely the kind that can never have enough money.
> From what is publicly known Valve is family owned basically since Gabe own major part of company.
And there is no reason to believe his heirs will want to keep the company rather than cash out for the right offer just because Gabe wouldn't have.
> It would be just hard to sell Valve and remove control from the team without destroying both company and gaming community goodwill.
That has never been an a showstopper for vulture capitalists.
