Gonna piggy back off this to drop a decent summary from coffeezilla about valve's lootbox gambling problem that Valve has consistently dodged responsibility on. It's really not new news but folks should be informed/reminded of it nonetheless.

I don't watch CoffeeZilla in any large amount, but this pretty well sums up the situation in this instance.

I hope the employees are compensated well compared to the profit.

As of 2021, Valve employees made roughly $430K-4.5M, depending on role. Not bad, considering the average salary in WA is around $58k.

It's funny that these publications only learned that this year when Valve has had a publicly available company directory on their website with names, pictures and email addresses since forever.
