WHERE THE FUCK IS IT GABE YOU FAT FUCK

In what way? They sure seem to be a giant fucking cancer on the PC game industry.

Steam but not the Game making division of Valve.
Supposedly they took the practice of letting employee's work on the games they wanted and even had mobile desks for them to do so. What ended up happening was that the people making games were laid off and replaced with other people. Supposedly multiple attempts at making Half Life 3 and other projects all the way until 2015 happened but they gave up due to lack of cooperation and everyone eventually just went to making TF2 hats and VR stuff for fun while getting paid for doing nothing. The argument people have used is that even if anarchism or communism that isn't syndicalism or anarcho communist based as in there is still people forcing society to work and make decisions is a viable society it will get nothing accomplished. Humans will never go to space and 10000 years from now we all die in a supernova because we didn't give enough of a shit to save ourselves thanks to anarchist or communist systems without incentive as a hypothetical comparison.

WOW! who would have thunk? this is an outrage! how could this happen???
yall need to go to a bumfuck nowhere potato and beets farm, herd goats on a mountain, some area with ~1000 people living there and 0 people living there for miles as far as the eye can see
then you have your "ground zero", a clean start, a zero bias view… there is nothing to interfere with your thinking, no welfare, no infinite safety nets, no n-th order complexities getting in the way of the basics
what do you see?
gravity doesnt take a day off because of your feelings, all animals in nature are ruthless mass murderers eating each other alive and screaming in their own blood, hard work is the only thing that can set you free, you can only reap what you sow, and you finally get why humanity practiced slavery all up until the mechanization and industrial revolution, they did it because it got shit done
clearly you gotta keep the workforce lean and mean if you wanna get shit done

Valve is many things but I wouldn't call them lazy. They literally cornered the market for PC games all their competitors suck dog shit so obviously they're doing stuff right.
Julian King
they havent actually made a game in like a decade
whatever they are now, they are not a game making company, certainly not hl3 making company

I don't know what I'm responding to.

When you have a monopoly on PC game sales you rake in enough profits that you can do whatever retarded, non-productive hippie shit you want. On the surface Valve looks like an indictment of anarchy or horizontalism but really it's more an indictment of Silicon Valley dipshits whose idea of freedom is never being tied down by oppressive things like plans.

Playing Team Fortress 2 is good praxis. It exposes you to the morally bankrupt conspicuous consumption of capitalism.
