In fairness, the employees are the highest paid in the industry, making well over 1/2 million a year + bonuses, and even the janitor I believe is well paid, from a leak that came out once in the news.
They also have very few employees surprisingly.
And they’re private, so there’s no “line must always go up” mentality either.
Should they be paid even more? Yes, but compared to basically all other corporations, he’s like last on the list. Not to mention gaming on Linux and open source software (and now, VR on Linux) has basically become possible and easily achievable thanks to Valve, so at least some of that huge money is going back directly to the relevant community. That’s way more than can be said about any other tech company.
He’s still on the list, but he might be the furthest down.
