  Probably because they have zero intent to IPO, where unicorns do.

  Valve has never taking funding[0] - which is how the Unicorns got their valuation: they were funded at a particular value (eg in AirBNB's April 2014 round they took $475M at $10B valuation[1]).

    Interesting. So that means Gabe Newell owns essentially all the stock?
