Is he? Varoufakis said that, back when he worked at valve, Newel had an "anarcho-syndicalist soul trapped in a private company" or something like that

Doesn't he own the private company though?

Awoo

Can't speak for the rest of valve but last I checked the actual developer portion of the company is run with a flat hierarchy and nobody enforces participation in projects, people work on whatever they want to work on. He does own it though.

Maybe. Not sure how relevant it is today but this is the old "new employee handbook" that Varoufakis would have had on his first day there: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf

Interesting read. Cool place to work tbh and as far as bosses go I do think he's on the better side regardless of the numerous criticisms I have of Valve.
