You gotta give capitalist first principles and ideals and policies the boot. When you can use money to buy anything and earn money without practical limits, gaining access to more and more capital at any and all costs, even at the cost of everybody else's life and freedom and rights, is the natural result.

Valve is very much a capitalist company though. Gabe Newell is a billionaire, he owns six yachts, and Valve practically invented the concept of the loot box. So if the question is "how do we get more Valves and fewer Blizzards," it doesn't seem clear to me how giving capitalism the boot helps.

		Honestly I'm not sure, but I suspect it's because for Gabe, Valve is his iterated prisoners dilemma He's got to take care of it or no more yachts Though part of it just might be helpful knows and respects hit market, at least well enough to understand them, I vaguely recall he left Microsoft to start a game company after seeing how much people fell head over heels with games and thinking there was value there

		And what about when Gabe is gone? Because he is certainly the exception and not the standard for ultra wealthy capitalists.

Valve is literally the capitalist utopia, they have pretty much unlimited money for their size and can spend it on anything they want.

That's why you'd never see a company like Valve in a capitalist system... wait...
