nah. you need to be pretty fucking terrible to build a business where your share of it is worth a billion dollars. you do so by cheating your customers, employees, and competition. valve is no exception.

there are plenty of companies out there that pay their employees decently, make good products, and compete fairly. those companies usually aren't worth that much and their leaders aren't making a billion dollars from it. you're right that the tax policies are shit, but it's not like you ever accidentally become a billionaire. you do so by cheating the tax system too and screwing the general public.

and nobody said anything about killing people.
