I just read in Wikipedia that Valve is privately helded.

There must be something magical in the fact that they don't need to feed their shareholders with mountains of cash every quarter, and actually focus on their customers, as happened in this post.

Fun fact, they used to be public but Gabe took it back private after realizing how shitty it was having to answer to shareholders.

Wow, when they were practically giving those away, I figured they were washing their hands of it. It's amazing that it's still being supported.

I bought one during the clearance sale for the price of shipping, assuming that it would be abandoned but maybe still useful as a low-power linux server. I guess I ought to set it up and take advantage of it.

Thanks, Valve, for not letting these things become instant e-waste.
