Not gonna defend corporations here, but valve isnt public. They are privately owned by the bosses and employees, valve has one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. It is quite difficult to get a job there for that reason. So they are actually quite beholden to their workers.
Indeed but Valve is an exception to the rule which otherwise applies to 99% of corporations.
All public corporations, private ones can be run by a benevolent leader.
At least until the leader gets corrupted by the power if there is enough of it. Then they become not so benevolent
Hence the use of the word "can" and not "are"
Valve wouldn't exist at it is if it was public and might not exist as it is if it wasn't for Newell (and I say that as a person that's very critical of Valve, they're still very far from how bad they could be considering their position)
I see, that's valid then, and I agree that Valve isn't some godsend charity, it just happens to work better than the rest for us buyers
