Valve is also a privately owned company. They don't need to make more money this quarter vs last quarter to keep shareholders happy, they can just be happy that they're making a lot of money. That requirement to always become more profitable than before leads companies to enshitify products with anti-consumer "features" and cut costs (ie layoffs).

I think the point being made is that Gabe rewards his employees first and then himself after, and yet hes still somehow made more money personally than Tim Sweeney.

"Somehow" he owns the only PC video game store that matters.
