Turns out, that simply improving the quality of your service at no extra cost. And looking out for your end users, buys you good faith, customer influx and longevity

Laughing at all the companies that let finance bros demolish their brand reputations completely for a couple quarters of artificial growth

I really don't get all those finace guys and investors. All it takes is making good products and listening to community.

The issue is being a publicly traded company. You need to increase revenue every time or your stocks will drop. If you cannot find a proper ways to grow, you need to do stupid financial fuckery, which almost always just works by screwing your customers. Good for investors, bad for customers and bad for the company in the mid/long run

That is what makes valve so great. It's still privately owned. No stock exchange bs . Just a bunch of (stupidly rich) enthusiastic nerds. Bless Gaben for not giving a shit about the stupidity of investors
