Do you know everybody who works there and what their ambitions are?

Also, nothing is impossible when you can deploy thepower of acquisition lol i’m less worried about them internally polluting themselves and more about externally being destroyed. We’ve seen this over and over again.

Apparently 50%+ of the company belongs to Gabe himself, presumably he would pass it on to some very trusted. That makes a hostile takeover pretty unlikely.

I really hope he is secretly investing in cloning so we can get Gaben (2) joining Valve soon. Or atleast invest some money in uploading his consciousness into a giant metal head 🗿

We'll never have a gaben (3) 😭

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

We will if he's not around to stop us

I would hope he does something like the patagonia guy did.

He could just turn it into a nonprofit at some point with some specific rules in place about how certain things are handled within the company.

He could presumably just spilt his shares equally between all employees
