Affected employees were asked not to speak about specifics, but the impression we get is that these cuts were driven more by company challenges than by individual performance issues

This is a bit surprising, I'd have thought Valve was trucking in money by the boatloads.

It doesn't generate any income by itself, though. Dota2 and TF2 seem more like tools to drag people into Steam and then sell them other publishers' games.
