Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees - Lemmy.ca

How many times has this been posted now? Genuine question: why is this such a big deal?

Genuine question: why is this such a big deal?

These are not all video game companies, but for reference:

AMD: 26,000 employees
EA: 14,000
Facebook: 84,000
Netflix: 11,000
Spotify: 9,000
Twitter: 7,500

But it’s basically a store front and they contract almost everything out. Like how many people does it take to run some servers? They don’t make games, the steam deck and the VR are the few things they’ve done. And that could be down a couple dozen engineers and contract everything else.

Like how many employees should they have?

Twitter runs a single web application.

They also do make games.

Isn’t most of steam self moderated by the publishers and developers?
I’m not sure what do you mean as moderation of store page.

They make the information on the store page, they moderate the forums, guides and workshop.

What does steam moderate themselves?

They make the information on the store page

At least some progress. How information on the store page steam would add without developer? How would steam know title of game, price and other stuff without developer telling it.

What does steam moderate themselves?

Reviews and refunds.

What?

They log in, provide the Information to the system, the system automatically proceeds it and posts it. You think there’s a person manually doing this task or something?

Reviews of what? And 99% of refunds are automated since people use it as a free game testing service, the 2 hour window.

Most of steam is automated dude, you don’t seriously think they are manually adding all this information with a keyboard from a mailed package or something do you?

Who they? Robots? Nvidia’s AI?

Reviews of what?

Of games, lol. We are talking about steam, did you forget already?

Users review the games and they also tag the store as well…? What are you going on about here?
