    The question is how long that mindset will survive once Gaben leaves. Or dies.

    We need to upload him into a GabenOS of sorts. To preserve the Valve mindset, and also for science.

    Some neurotoxin and mass murder would be a small price to pay.

      To be a little more serious, I think there us a lot less risk that anything could happen. It is too profitable. I think of valve more like a company like Rolex, where they are crazy profitable and can do whatever they want.

      No one can predict the future, and someone can always screw it all up with bad management. But I would predict that it is more likely that they would get bought out by Berkshire or something before going public or getting acquired by some VC firm.
