MODERATORS
Valve has about 100 employees, Steam is operated by about 40, but I would love to have a source on the "generational wealth" part. Most of the income is likely spent on operational costs, like the aforementioned massive CDN infrastructure. If you've never worked in corporate-level networking, it might elude you how ridiculously fucking expensive stuff gets, especially at a worldwide scale.
Valve is not publicly traded. We don't know. (Unless it became public information through a lawsuit or was leaked. In which case: Source pls.)
