According to according to leaked data, as of 2021, Valve employed just 336 staffers, meaning it’s remarkably small compared to other gaming companies.
Valve is a famously secretive company with an enormous influence on the gaming industry, particularly because it runs the massive PC gaming storefront Steam. But despite that influence, Valve isn’t a large organization on par with EA or Riot Games’ thousands of employees: according to leaked data we’ve seen, as of 2021, Valve employed just 336 staffers. The data was included as part of an otherwise heavily redacted document from Wolfire’s antitrust lawsuit against Valve.
In November 2023, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that he thinks “we’re firmly in the camp of being a full fledged hardware company by now.” 'Wolfire alleged Valve “...devotes a miniscule percentage of its revenue to maintaining and improving the Steam Store.”' The small number of staff across the board seemingly explains why Valve’s product list is so limited despite its immense business as basically the de facto PC gaming platform.
