    Honestly, the secret is not being a publicly traded company.

    Valve fortune doesn’t come from not being traded publicly. They built a nearly monopoly on pc videogames with their walled garden proprietary third party launcher.

      Valve isn’t a walled garden. They allow other apps to be launched through their app and devs can sell steams key on other platforms.

      It is still a mega corp, but trying to attack it from the walled garden angle is pretty dumb.
