    Do they realize that what they really said was: having shareholders destroys businesses.

        That’s a new one for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareholder

        Both public companies and private corporation have shareholders.

        But only for companies participating in the equity ownership, right? I’m not fully versed with that, so need to ask here. I don’t know how this works with Gabe and Valve. I think the important detail here is, that Valve is not publicly traded and can decide who buys shares from their company and could reject any money. I don’t think this is possible with publicly traded companies, right?
