You are presuming it actually works for Valve, which is not an uncontroversial notion.

  It's controversial because we don't know if it would keep working without a massive free cashflow. (My guess is: it would not).

    That is not even what I am talking about. I know a number of people who have quit Valve and almost all of them would cite organizational dysfunction as one of the top reasons for quitting. I don't know whether that is true -- I have never worked there -- and I don't wish to spread any ill rumors about Valve. I'm just saying that I know a bunch of people who have worked there who think the flat thing is one of Valve's biggest problems (another one being the incentive structure; of course these two things go hand in hand).

      Gotcha. I haven't worked there either; but I find the boosterism I sometimes observe to be annoying because of the confounding factor of massive free cashflow.
