This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's more probably Doug Lombardi or Scott Lynch (COO?) that would take the reigns. Or it would probably turn into a co-op to be honest.
multiplayer company ownership
funny but for reference : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative
FYI it's "reins", not "reigns".
Rain it in there buddy
jokes on you
let's hope they won't turn it into an extraction shooter.
I think that would be best, like bobs red mill.
Employee owned (like John Lewis and Richer Sounds) or customer owned (like the supermarket)
Too many customers to be customer owned
Not with a Steam customer lottery democracy. Randomly selecting like 10,000 Steam users transparently (that can be figured out later) and then have them work together to help run the company better than Gabe ever could. Also they would be swapped out yearly.
...
So valve have spent their entire time carefully selecting co workers, empowering them to do whatever they want, and your idea is to give it to a random bunch of strangers?
Yes! It worked in Ancient Athens!
Have they ever said publicly their intention to become a cooperative?
Though the way Valve operates, being a cooperative does sound plausible.
nope. I am speculating, hence "probably"
