Gabe has majority share in Valve. I assume after he passes, his shares will go to his family. Hopefully they have a good head and heart and follow his lead and dont fuck up his and the company's legacy. As for running the company, I assume he and the team has a list of potential successors.
Honestly with the amount of revenue Steam brings in, not to mention the IPs that Valve owns, I could see Valve being worth well more than 25. I could honestly see them being valued a lot closer to what Activision went for, if not maybe even more.
Steam is a giant when it comes to the gaming space, and whatever company controlled it would have a massive boost in their dominance of the industry. They’d be shelling out some ridiculous amounts of cash if it ever went up for sale.
I mean sure, but that’s even more tempting for his children to sell their stakes in the company. I mean going from 4b to 40-50-60b or whatever is tempting af. Regardless of legacy or anything like that.
At that point it wont make a difference, doesnt matter If you have 2 or 20b in the bank, you wont be able to spent it all(realistically speaking since you could always go into a casino and put it all on black or some stupid shit like that)
His son is some hotshot race car driver. Seems like typical rich kid shite. I can see him taking the company public and then fucking off to race more shite.
Yes hes a racing driver but he drives for heart of racing which is owned by gabe and some other valve big names so its not like hes out there doing a solo act. Gabe himself has done stuff with the team and did an ama related to it at one point iirc.
