      I’d like to think it’s not so simple. Valve has a profit vaguely like $1 billion a year. If I was making a billion dollars a year, why would I sell the company for a few billion? Why would I sell it for anything? With $1 billion I can literally buy anything I’ve ever wanted to buy forever.

      When we’re talking money of that scale I don’t see what the motivation is to sell out. You already have basically infinite money.

      While we’re on the subject, Gabe, if you’re reading this, I swear on me mum if you give me Valve I will take ownership of the company to my grave. I won’t sell a single share for as long as I’m still breathing. It’s not just about me. It’s a responsibility to PC gaming.
