What EA and Ubisoft Still Don t Understand About Valve
While the gaming industry burns through layoffs, failed $200 million projects, and bloated teams, Valve keeps doing the opposite. Around 360 employees now generate more profit per worker than almost any major tech company on Earth.Meanwhile, giants like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and even Sony keep betting on bigger budgets, larger studios, and massive marketing campaigns that increasingly fail to connect with players. So what does Valve Corporation understand that the rest of the industry still doesn’t?
This is the story of how Steam became a passive empire, why Valve’s “small team” philosophy keeps outperforming billion-dollar competitors, and how projects like Deadlock, Counter-Strike 2, and the Steam Deck OLED exposed a painful truth. Modern gaming may not have a creativity problem, it may have a corporate structure problem.
