Probably some company that is privately owned, pays its employees well, doesn’t sacrifice integrity for growth, and admits/corrects mistakes. We probably haven’t heard of them because the more growth-focused corps get the headlines.

- badpun 3y agoCheck out this guy: https://twitter.com/richgel999 https://twitter.com/richgel999 He's an ex-Valve coder who's basically on a personal crusade against them, revealing a lot of internal politics and other unpleasant stuff. Last I checked, he intended to write a book about it.

- skulk 3y agoIf you absolutely cannot live without reading these postings, you can replace twitter.com with nitter.net
- sureglymop 3y agoYes. Use nitter: https://nitter.nicfab.eu/richgel999 https://nitter.nicfab.eu/richgel999
- filoleg 3y agoI got really excited upon seeing this, but then I checked out his twitter profile, and all his recent tweets were just rambles about UFO conspiracy theories with screenshots of snippets from random documents, all tagged with #ufotwitter hashtag. I am not the kind of a person to care much about people's post history just to take a dig at them for it, and I am not judging him for being into it. This is all harmless and fine. But, sadly, the whole UFO conspiracy theory nonsense seriously undermines my trust in his takes on Valve and how things were actually going there.
- badpun 3y agoYep, same here. I stopped following his Twitter once he got similarly into UFO, perhaps a year ago.
- alphager 3y agoHe's a conspiracy theorist heavy into UFO and ESP with a grudge. Hardly credible.
- kobalsky 3y agoI'm dreading the day Gabe steps down and the company gets immediately sold to Microsoft. Their regional pricing in Argentina is very generous. Most people here would be completely priced out of the industry if they didn't do this. They had issues with abuse and they solved it requiring local addresses for payment methods instead of nuking us from orbit. I don't know why they are doing this, a lot of companies have pulled out of country due to the fake dollar exchange rate thing. And I'm wary of saying it's generous since it's a for profit company, but I don't know if our pricing is even worth the bandwidth, since a lot of them are like 1/10th. We are really lucky Valve exists here, it's on a league of its own.
