Steam isn't a public company

Because steam is a private company you piece of garbage.

Because Gabe Newell refuses to sell it.

Because

Why aren't there more private companies? Seriously, selling stocks is like selling your soul, especially if the buyers are Chinese.

You do know Epic is also private, right?

what the fuck is the point of this post

money

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GABE

Because you need funding in a lot of cases.

There are actually a very large number of private companies.

And a lot of public companies retain a majority stake in themselves so that they cannot be unduly controlled by outside elements through the board.

Going public is usually about making money--either because your company desperately needs it (uber) or because you are cashing in.

>steam has decade of pc game market monopoly with huge net profits per employee
>1 successful online pvp game makes sweeney worth more in a couple years
That seems really odd.

Sure, just like selling your own kidney is also lucrative.

>steam drones can't even grasp such a simple concept as net worth
Why am I not surprised?

it always boils down to this
public companes can bring in more potential revenue at the cost of your integrity
private companies are limited in their broader appeal and growth potential yet their integrity remains intact
pick your poison

Would you sell the result of your life's work to China for 3 billion dollars?

I met Tim Sweeny at e3 yesterday

Was it epic?

Nobody cares about Sweeny or Gabe's net worth. They don't charge anything to the fact stall could only be bought if gabe (and the other co founder everybody forgot) agreed on it.

Why would you compare the networth? Only insecure losers care about how much more they're worth than others

PC gaming is pure trash in general.
Sony should buy Steam / Epic store and immediately shut it down afterwards.
Nothing of value would be lost.

i don't know Chang, Xi jinping seems to be a good president as long you are working with him

No amount of money is worth losing my image for

rent free

Unreal engine royalties

It's virtually impossible to grow without selling stock. The whole system is built around money coming to money.

retarded bait

Meanwhile, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet could buy and sell him as a sex slave 1000 times over. What's your point?

Just buy a new image with the money

Well, Epic apparently despises its own workforce so I wouldn't be surprised if Tim and the other top execs and such had ridiculously inflated salaries.

i feel like epic is the manlet of digital destributions.
trying so damm hard to compensate in every way they can

Gaben eats tiny people like sweeney for breakfast

according to forbes(iirc), gaben was worth more than what sweeny is worth now, years ago, 2013, I think.
so whats up with that?

I haven't made anything so they can have that for 3 billion

>>Yea Forums if you like watching movies so much.

yeah people are retarded and lazy this any other news at 11

its more like having an excess of kidneys stored away, more than you will ever need, and selling all the ones you will not need even under the most dire of estimates.
then the buyers savour those kidneys with fava beans and a nice chianti.

there, food analogy complete.

hmmm yeah?

You can't say Timmy's networth is more than Newell's because Steam isn't publicly traded and you can't accurately assess its networth. This article is just bullshitting.
