As it happens, there are only about 10 people [1] working on Steam. [2][3] This is the result of both Valve having only some hundreds of employees total and them being to be able to choose what they want to work on. Not many choose Steam.

[1] This is not counting customer support staff that is outsourced.
[2] Steam employees self-report the team size as 10 in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwE-K8y-ws&t=8m35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwE-K8y-ws&t=8m35s
[3] Someone who recently visited Valve observed this to still be true. "There are approximately ten people inside" + "This is the Steam cabal," https://www.joindota.com/en/news/84521-my-visit-at-valves-hq-what-i-learned-about-the-state-of-dota-2 https://www.joindota.com/en/news/84521-my-visit-at-valves-hq...
- Cpoll 7y agoInteresting. However, in this case, '10 person company' is more meant to imply the resources (bug bounty budget) available to the company. It's appropriate to categorize it as a 'a massive corporation with millions of users' for this purpose.
- FooHentai 7y agoThere's the rub though, right. It's 'a tiny company with millions of users'. QED.
