Beaver [she/her]Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees
EinarHow many times has this been posted now? Genuine question: why is this such a big deal?
cygnusGenuine 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?
They don’t make games
DOTA and CS beg to differ. Spotify is a “storefront” that produces nothing but has about 25x more employees.
And valve contracts out or has the developers and publishers self moderate their own pages on Steam.
Dude, just take the L and move on.
How does a discussion have a loser? I was adding how valve has such a low employee account.
Take offense that they legit have issues publishing any games due to their corporate structure…
But I was only adding to the discussion, why do you need to “win”?
just another devYou sure like posting that screenshot, don’t you?
Well people are claiming valve is making loads of games and don’t have issues with their structure.
Do you guys not like proof to show that you are wrong or something? I get it valve is being bashed and you don’t like it, so why is everyone derailing conversations about the topic…? People can’t discuss stuff that you don’t like or something….?
Hey, you do you. I just want to give you the feedback that when you repeatedly post something as blatant as a full page screenshot, it really stands out, especially on mobile. It might give off some fanatical vibes (in the original sense of the word).
Do with that what you will.
You’re reading far into shit, you think you are adding to the discussion here?
There were three chains that got started from my comment, so those three have that information to support the points I was making and people were counterpointing with no support. These are all upvoted heavily but one.
The other is my original comment, to provide the original context since people were fanboying downvoting my comment since I sinned against lord Gaben.
So again, I was having a normal discussion, now some trolls are for some reason telling me that having a discussion isn’t okay?
Get a life buddy. Why is someone defending their point from trolls somehow at fucking fault? Yeesh.
Seems like you’re handling this like a rational adult, so keep up the good work 👍
