Not that I agree with the above comment, but Valve is a private company. Hence, they would not be beholden to shareholder pressures. Perhaps the argument the posted intended was to never join a pubic company?

Private companies have shareholders & related interests/pressure as well.

True, but Gabe Newell owns over 50% of Valve so I'm guessing the pressure in this case is more limited.

Even that wouldn’t explain google and meta as the founders own over 50% of voting shares.
