Private companies can have shares and shareholders too, fyi. They just aren't traded on a public market and aren't beholden to a public mandate of profit or share growth above all else.
Caught replying without reading. 🤦♂️
I was like...what comment did they make in response to mine that got removed before I got a chance to see...and now I can guess the type of comment it was. It's ok to be wrong, it doesn't mean you're weak or a bad person.
I had made a reply for this user here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/9780622 but I guess he wanted to give me a copy paste reply for a reply I was giving to someone else...
The comment can be boiled down to: Everyone is sucking up to Valve like usual, they could just as easily become evil like Google did, despite their old motto and everyone in tech loving them in the past. Being private is the one thing keeping Valve from enshittifying themselves so they are just as bad as any company.
