How Valve hires, how it fires, and how much it pays 
FTA's comments:> all is good when the money is flowing.That really struck me. Everything is all good when the money is flowing. It doesn't matter whether you work at a bank, a law firm, a defence contractor or a sales agency - no matter what the structure, or how people are organized, everything works when the money is flowing.Now, what I'm really interested in is catastrophic failure.What goes wrong when the money stops flowing? From what I've seen historically - the same things go wrong no matter what the place (see GFC effect at various companies back in '08).How is Valve going to deal with the "always losing money" proposition?
