Valve isn't criticized for any of the garbage moves they make as the user base will just dismiss everything... almost like MAGA. Child gambling is only one of many Valve issues. VAC is a joke it is stupid easy to hack steam, Steam is absolutely invested with bot accounts, Quality assurance is no were to be seen as scam games have flooded the store along with p*rn games, Untold amount of older games don't even launch properly through steam and steam communities have to be the ones to help troubleshoot them rather than Valve forcing the game companies to fix them. In addition to that Valve "bent the knee" to big companies that sell Triple AAA titles so they would start releasing games back on steam so they actually make more of a percentage than indie developers. Their trading card achievement system is predatory. Valve invest as little money as possible to combat any of those issues. The store has been on auto pilot for the last 15 years and again they are fully aware that they are getting children addicted to gambling. One of the many reasons they don't go public. I stopped using them ages ago.

"One of the many reasons they don't go public."

Steam makes Valve far too much money consistently to have any reason to go public. As of this year, they’ve generated over ten billion dollars in revenue, Valve has just under 350 employees. In their situation remaining private is far more beneficial as they're not beholden to shareholders to self-sabotage.

Also, Gabe’s son, Gray, has been under his father’s guidance for some time to eventually take over once Gabe steps down. Gabe intends for Valve and Steam to remain under majority Newell family ownership, especially given his negative views toward publicly traded companies, including the one he previously worked for which was a major motivation for founding Valve and its unique work culture.
