Valve Make More Money Per Employee than Google or Apple
It has been noted that currently Valve is making more money per employee than the likes of Google or Apple. It is easy to work out how much the publicly traded Google and Apple make per employee, estimating what Valve pulls in is tougher.
Steam is an online video game distribution program owned by Valve; it controls an estimated 50-70% of the $4 billion per year market for downloaded games. Valve’s founder, Gabe Newell, says that the 250-person company brought in “high hundreds of millions of dollars” in 2010. Although, they have not released their financials, over 30 million people using Steam so it’s easy to assume they are doing as well as he says.
