I completely agree a horizontal structure is a better working environment for employees. I don't know how the compensation packages at Valve works, but I'm betting the shareholders (and executives at the top who are given shares) are getting the vast majority of the profits, just like most corporations. I bet a lot of the most talented employees at Valve are vastly overproducing the amount they are paid, and could easily gain much more personal equity even after trading some for enough land and capital to start a company themselves. Not saying everyone should start a company, I haven't yet so I guess I'm being a bit hypocritical here.
Good reply. Like I said I figured I was being a bit naive in my post.
