They're the #1 most profitable per employee. There are plenty of companies more profitable than Valve, but they have more employees. Valve could hire more employees.

Yes, I meat profit margin which is what public investors care about (in addition to growth).

And IIRC Valve and EA had almost exactly the same revenue figures last year, yet EA had 10x more employees.

On paper it would seem extremely appealing to public investors.
