It’s wild to me how few people understand that private companies have shareholders too

I am not sure how to interpret your response. Do you mean I do not know that Valve as a private company does have shareholders?

What he means is, when gaben our lord an saviour dies, his majority shares ownership will be transferred to his inheritors.

The question "do they want to own and do they understand Valve or just see a big pile of cash?" will be answered then and there.

Which can very well result in an IPO.

Aren't they called investors when it's private?
