Woke moderators from Valve was censoring anti DEI comments and harassing conservative users with perms bans for about 4 years! Valve already woke enough! They also made Alyx more black and ugly than she was in HL2, in Alyx! Wake up people, Valve is already infested with DEI and woke hires!!!!
Why would they, wokeness aside. The ship will never sink. The reason the small workforce at valve is also making bank is that, they are small and that they are very capable. I doubt they'll need to hire more employees with exception to some of them retiring(long time from now I guess)
What else is new? The Woke activists will find any excuse to try and lambast any company that doesn't instantly become a pack of yes-men for their agenda.
The fact they think valve should care about random strangers enough to implement bad buisness practices that would only make them lose money and consumer faith is crazy, insanity even.
hiring should not be based on what you look like...that is called racist and sexist. Hiring should be based on do you have what it takes to do a good job in this role that we're hiring?
Yes they have that is why they're successful and have lots of money they also got the power to do wha tthey want they don't answer to anyone else, they can do what they want...so blackrock can suck it, you don't get to destroy another company, too bad huh, f off
Dude, Valve runs the entire PC games industry. Any company keeping their stuff off Steam just simply can afford to, for now at least. They’ll all come Steam. And I wonder if Steam can stay strong and retain its values over the next couple decades.
If a company works well without their agenda, let them be. Guess what? They aren't even causing the world any trouble. Usually people who actually have bad practices and scams their customers, are the companies that pretend to be the good guys
As a Mexican woman I don’t understand this, the point of a career is to go on a journey like a Videogame. You lvl up and eventually earn a place in the lvl 100 table. Hearing there are no women in valve would make me want to be that one woman but based on merit not a handout. Based on a hard journey lvl up through my career only to finally end up at valve having earned my place. To actually make a difference in any industry takes work and effort. Lots of blood sweat and tears pouring into your work. If they want to be that diverse person making a difference you have to be good at your job. People cemented in history as important people to their industry showed exceptional work if not beyond. Many people of all races talk proudly of them. Take Stan Lee loved by all regardless of race or gender. Because he worked and poured love into his craft. If you want a woman in video games Roberta Williams made the Kings Quest series early in the 80s and made one as recently as 2016. She’s a pioneer who continues to work for the love of creating.
@@theanimer1That's the thing though. It is literally NOT bigotry. Don't even let them call Valve bigots because it is absolutely untrue. In fact the activists are the real bigots who only focus on race, rather than merit

Diversity is not a skill. It can be an asset depending on the type of diversity ie diversity of thought in an industry where creativity and innovation are key. But diversity of skin color, gender, or sexuality are not.
These people really go mask off with situations like Valve. "Hire me and my friends based off our identities because we have nothing else of value to offer." Then they wonder why these "diverse" companies implode.

Ofc the people complaining now don't care because they already got their bags which just shows how much of a grift DEI and being woke really was.

They currently make billions with Steam with just 37 employees running it. I think it was $8.5 billion last year. They could make 24 Concords every year and still had a $100 million in reserve, lol.

Well it is the opposite. the more "worry about being the good guys" = more chances of the company being really inefficient and scam its customers. But people will still vote with their wallet so what can I say
I hope Valve doesn't give a fuck about this, DEI and ESG ruins everything it touches, Valve is as big as they are now because of how good they are at their jobs
Our enemies call it a 'problem' if a business is 'too white', but never a 'problem' in the reverse, when employers refuse to hire white people. At this point, it seems clear that the diversity agenda was always about replacing white people. Hateful anti-whites are waging war on us. The time for tolerating woke idealogues is over.
nah this is like their su1cide attack since no one gonna hired d1versty bs anymore, they know 2025 is going to be bleak for them. they try to rallying people to criticized valve lol lmao even
nope, they are upset cause valve covers their legal flanks with consumer friendly moves which hurts industry's cheap slop output increasing future game production cost
If you hire people based on immutable characteristics you discriminate. Those who support DEI quotas are bigots/racists. People hired based on their talents, competency, and performance deserve their positions. The best person should always be hired for a job. This leads to increased profitability. This is a fiduciary duty of a Company's Board of Directors to its shareholders (those who actually own the company).
>leftists cry >you are right wing extremists you must accept diversity >gaben comes out on stage >wipes his mouth with 100 dollar bills >YES I AM >leaves >confetti starts falling >stereo heart starts playing >valve again makes money by being based
Game studios: "We need to make games for the modern audience" Modern audience: "We want good games, weather or not the main character is a woman is not a factor!" Activist groups: "They have no idea what they're talking about. What the modern audience really wants is soulless fluff involving whatever agenda we want to push!"
You could say DEI is a firestorm that causes people to DIE. Just look at the LA fires and what that female "fire fighter" said about leaving a man behind (he's too heavy for me to lift, but that's not my fault, it's his fault because he put himself there).
...there is no problem, but if you start listening to the woketard you will soon have more than you can handle. These people don't fix problems they look for problems that doesn't exist except for in their own sick heads, and they create problems...problems you don't need problems that the industry don't need. These people are bored, they are sick and their entire existence is based on fighting with other people and getting offended, they are cancer.💀 remember, men built this industry, gaming such as...all other things comes from men, we created games and gaming.
@@blabla-rg7ky Best part is that if the accusers did the same thing as Valve, they might be able to. Hiring people based on skill and experience isn't really rocket science.
Yeah, why aren't we allowed to have our own opinion. This isn't the modern German government, where you can take away peoples gun ownership and privacy and ability to revolt willy nilly.
nah, straight up anti-woke is not good. What we want, is NOT woke. This might look the same from the outside - but, they are wildly different. One is going to actively opposed principles (anti-woke), the other - is simply working by a different set of values (not woke). And that second is FAR more sustainable. Of course, at this point - the left wing movement has gone so far, that anything that is not actively supporting and cheering them on is considered anti-woke.
Do you know how many women where in my classes while studying software engineering? 2. 2 in a class of 40. Now can someone explain to me how they intend to have 50% in the workforce when they aren't even 10% in that part of education?
They also try to claim women make up close to 50% of the gaming audience now. Go to any gaming event, store, competition, etc. and just take a look around. If you don't count mobile there's not a single woman in my life (family, friends, co-workers) that play console or PC games regularly.
Gabe himself told he won't be making Half-Life 3, reason why he doesn't want to delivery a low quality product since Half-Life 3 is overhyped since 1 and 2 were huge hits. He can't produce another gem to this legacy and declared it
My greatest fear in this life is the day that Gandalf of Steam leaves us. I don't know what Steam would be without him, and I don't want to even imagine what Steam could become without him.
It's a good thing they didn't bust through their walls because if they did TF2 might have turned into over watch with everyone being soft, and different genders like a WW2 tank or some shi like that
@@Michael_Pepin totally. Valve shouldn't play politics -- nobody should. That's exactly the plague that's killing the industry. And speaking economics, gamers are as diverse and polarized as everything else these days. So, the less you talk about politics, the less you inadvertently offend someone. Valve's doing the smart thing -- giving gamers what they want, and taking their money -- woke, anti-woke, whatever. Money doesn't smell.
@@miloradowicz It's the plague killing the economy as a whole. The reason we are seeing a very conservative/right wing populist movement growing and taking over is: People are done with the messaging. Populism grows basically as a counter move to politicizing everything - and since everything is political, the move is to a political leader that talks about the core problems, and avoids literally everything else. What people don't get is: The left went too far left, and now - it must collapse.
@@miloradowiczGatekeeping against violent terrorists is doing just that - keeping politics out of valve. Accepting woke would be permitting politics to become part of valve.
Again, these "modern" people are the smallest percentage and they don't even play most of these games, oh yeah they don't so I'm absolutely clueless as to why they want DEI or what not so much when they don't even return the same amount of investment as these gaming companies does for them. Truly, I say we can't have nice things no more
@@spartanx169xI know why they do it, I'm clueless as to why they want to rob us and ruin the gaming industries when they don't even support them as these companies does and adhere to their whims and desires. Again, we can't have nice things with these peoples
lol nah, Valve are the last ones that need to worry about this type of sh*t. They're doing perfectly fine by not getting themselves caught up in messes like this.
Wow, it's almost like they hire based on merit instead of bodily details and they have the talent to succeed. Crazy It's basically that metaphor of "two swordfighters. One has years of experience but the most basic broadsword. The other only recently picked up the sword, but that sword could kill a god. Who would win?" I think we can all tell who won
At this point I’d rather gate keep our hobby to keep these activist freaks out of it completely! I want talented and competent people creating new experiences instead of remakes and remasters
Valve…good for you, I find it refreshing that they hold themselves private and not a public company. If that’s their strategy it seems to be working that when you hire people according to their skill set, then it’s successful. And then you look at the companies such as Disney that hires by “public sentiment” & the DEI mobs of the world which ruins companies such as Marvel. I know they are two different companies, altogether with what they both offer and operate on but, the point is, look at Valves success, and then look at Disney, where they don’t go one day without counting how many white fellas are on staff on any of their projects. Deadpool & Wolverine for example fought tooth and nail to make the movie WITHOUT the dynamics of DEI, which is why it was a smash hit, Ryan Reynolds said no to every attempt to mess with this movie, which he had made successful before Disney bought them out. Reynolds understands success with what works and what doesn’t work. Valve keep up the good work. 👍
Doesn't matter, Blackrock,Vanguard, and State Street bought your countries out from under you using your retirement funds and your taxes. Doesn't matter if their projects fail. The matter is already decided. Your country threw everyone overboard 40 years ago.
Everyone acts so sick and tired of evil cultists yet evil and cults are both legal. Weird. Why don't we just outlaw them? We can. It's possible. It's legal. It's moral. So why don't humans do that?
I am a female programmer & idgaf if companies hire based on skills rather than who you sleep with or identify as. If you’re good enough at what you do, you will be able to be hired at good companies and keep that job. Based Valve keeps my business 👍🏻
I detest how this kind of behavior is only being done one direction. To one group. Constantly. I know I’m not the only one, it’s only a matter of time before people have had more than enough. It won’t be pretty. Edit: Also yeah any of these consultants I view on the same level of a Ponzi scheme.
Maybe no DEI personnel who are actually qualified have applied to Valve. Maybe Valve just has no spots open because everyone likes their job and never leaves? Do people ever think about that? No. They just demand companies fire half their employees and replace them with DEI personnel instead, even if they're completely unqualified for the positions
...."DEI personnel who are actually qualified".... If they are qualified and at least slightly better than a white male they are not really DEI any more. They would still be a merit hire. If one is someone that would traditionally be covered under DEI but can be hired on merit they really should be against DEI. Having DEI just makes everyone assume that person was hired because of it rather than because of their merit. I am sure most reasonable people would prefer to be hired on merit rather than what HR boxes they check.
2:06 😂 who does this guy think he is? Going to a company and asking them to disclose how many people of color they have employed or/and things the identify differently? Good that Valve just ignored him.
Steam being run by less than a hundred people is actually really nice to hear. So many tech companies have a bloated staff full of unnecessary people, thousands of employees whose jobs don't actually contribute anything of substance. Considering how many people are out there using Steam and how many games are on it, under a hundred people sounds like a very modest number.
Thank you for watching, this is disgusting. Claiming that if any company is anything but white men it's fine, but if it has white people it's bad? F*ck off. So disgusting.

valve dont need give to shit because they private company and they dont need listen to investor complain
How much do they make off the gambling of skins and hats each year?
A million or more

lmao even
nope, they are upset cause valve covers their legal flanks with consumer friendly moves which hurts industry's cheap slop output increasing future game production cost
Participation trophies destroyed society. Now people expect something for nothing.
If you hire people based on immutable characteristics you discriminate. Those who support DEI quotas are bigots/racists. People hired based on their talents, competency, and performance deserve their positions. The best person should always be hired for a job. This leads to increased profitability. This is a fiduciary duty of a Company's Board of Directors to its shareholders (those who actually own the company).

We can UNO REVERSE CARD the "Don't like it, don't buy it!" now! Nobody is coercing them to use Steam or buy Valve's products! 😉
We can go even FURTHER and entrap then in frustration... "You're woke? Then you're not ALLOWED to buy OR use it!"

Game studios: "We need to make games for the modern audience"
Modern audience: "We want good games, weather or not the main character is a woman is not a factor!"
Activist groups: "They have no idea what they're talking about. What the modern audience really wants is soulless fluff involving whatever agenda we want to push!"
Kudos to Valve. They know the truth. Which is Go woke, Go broke.
not giving a shit about this braindead trend makes me want to give them money even more.
I've never seen one provable, objective positive outcome for diversity... not one.
Neither does the corporate world, regardless of what the McKinsey Global Institute alleged in their ill-naemd "studies".

You could say DEI is a firestorm that causes people to DIE.
Just look at the LA fires and what that female "fire fighter" said about leaving a man behind (he's too heavy for me to lift, but that's not my fault, it's his fault because he put himself there).
So Valve is being accused of hiring on merit, and making massive profits as a result. So...where's the problem? 😁
...there is no problem, but if you start listening to the woketard you will soon have more than you can handle.
These people don't fix problems they look for problems that doesn't exist except for in their own sick heads, and they create problems...problems you don't need problems that the industry don't need. These people are bored, they are sick and their entire existence is based on fighting with other people and getting offended, they are cancer.💀
remember, men built this industry, gaming such as...all other things comes from men, we created games and gaming.
the problem is that the accusers are not the ones making the profits xD
@@blabla-rg7ky Best part is that if the accusers did the same thing as Valve, they might be able to. Hiring people based on skill and experience isn't really rocket science.
@@tokidensetsu well, duh! But have you seen dumbies succeeding in anything?
Communism is usually against merits
"We hire on merit"
>And that was a problem
go woke go broke, Valve was able see that.
Not all agendas are bad, an anti-woke agenda is a very good agenda 😇
Yeah, why aren't we allowed to have our own opinion. This isn't the modern German government, where you can take away peoples gun ownership and privacy and ability to revolt willy nilly.
nah, straight up anti-woke is not good. What we want, is NOT woke.
This might look the same from the outside - but, they are wildly different. One is going to actively opposed principles (anti-woke), the other - is simply working by a different set of values (not woke). And that second is FAR more sustainable.
Of course, at this point - the left wing movement has gone so far, that anything that is not actively supporting and cheering them on is considered anti-woke.
Do you know how many women where in my classes while studying software engineering? 2. 2 in a class of 40. Now can someone explain to me how they intend to have 50% in the workforce when they aren't even 10% in that part of education?
They think it LOOKS bad!
They are all about how things look!😅
The aswer Is simple, the men in Valve can identify as woman, instan 50-50 of women AND men
Remenber there Is no form to kown what Is a woman
Remenber the woke think that 1+1=3 they learn math in a cereal box
They also try to claim women make up close to 50% of the gaming audience now. Go to any gaming event, store, competition, etc. and just take a look around. If you don't count mobile there's not a single woman in my life (family, friends, co-workers) that play console or PC games regularly.
and the only ones that do are simple frontend devs that only know basic JS or HTML/CSS
The only thing we want from Valve is a proper Half-Life 3.
I want half life 2 on ps5 lol
They keep saying that they are teasing it.
@EndymionTv "best I can do is HL1 on PS2"
Honestly I want a half life 3 as much as the next guy but I hope they keep the "Valve can't count to 3" joke alive and name it something else.
Gabe himself told he won't be making Half-Life 3, reason why he doesn't want to delivery a low quality product since Half-Life 3 is overhyped since 1 and 2 were huge hits. He can't produce another gem to this legacy and declared it

Kinda funny that for someone with takes like that their last name is "Bratt". Fitting.

Shoutout to my fellow Canadians and Endymion for being a priceless voice in our community . Seriously you’re awesome bro
They need to remove these activists especially from their forums.
Its rediculous.
That would be nice, but as we are allowed to say what we want (outside of yt of course 🙄) so are they allowed to say their hateful ideology
@@Michael_Pepin totally. Valve shouldn't play politics -- nobody should. That's exactly the plague that's killing the industry.
And speaking economics, gamers are as diverse and polarized as everything else these days. So, the less you talk about politics, the less you inadvertently offend someone. Valve's doing the smart thing -- giving gamers what they want, and taking their money -- woke, anti-woke, whatever. Money doesn't smell.
@@miloradowicz It's the plague killing the economy as a whole. The reason we are seeing a very conservative/right wing populist movement growing and taking over is: People are done with the messaging. Populism grows basically as a counter move to politicizing everything - and since everything is political, the move is to a political leader that talks about the core problems, and avoids literally everything else.
What people don't get is: The left went too far left, and now - it must collapse.
@@Michael_PepinUh nope, hateful ideologies aren't allowed. So Dave is correct.
@@miloradowiczGatekeeping against violent terrorists is doing just that - keeping politics out of valve.
Accepting woke would be permitting politics to become part of valve.
Again, these "modern" people are the smallest percentage and they don't even play most of these games, oh yeah they don't so I'm absolutely clueless as to why they want DEI or what not so much when they don't even return the same amount of investment as these gaming companies does for them.

Wow, it's almost like they hire based on merit instead of bodily details and they have the talent to succeed. Crazy

Yeah, they hate it when success comes through merit and not ideology. It's like acid on their skin.
Don't be like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Intel, never bend the knee to the woke cult
Valve…good for you, I find it refreshing that they hold themselves private and not a public company. If that’s their strategy it seems to be working that when you hire people according to their skill set, then it’s successful. And then you look at the companies such as Disney that hires by “public sentiment” & the DEI mobs of the world which ruins companies such as Marvel.
I know they are two different companies, altogether with what they both offer and operate on but, the point is, look at Valves success, and then look at Disney, where they don’t go one day without counting how many white fellas are on staff on any of their projects. Deadpool & Wolverine for example fought tooth and nail to make the movie WITHOUT the dynamics of DEI, which is why it was a smash hit, Ryan Reynolds said no to every attempt to mess with this movie, which he had made successful before Disney bought them out.
Reynolds understands success with what works and what doesn’t work.
Valve keep up the good work. 👍
Oh thank you activists for telling me to give Valve more money.
Valve added LGBTQ+ tag, wtf activists want? (thx for tag, i blocked it)

Doesn't matter, Blackrock,Vanguard, and State Street bought your countries out from under you using your retirement funds and your taxes. Doesn't matter if their projects fail. The matter is already decided. Your country threw everyone overboard 40 years ago.
It's that easy avoid DEI

How to fix this? "Problem Solving". Or The Screwfly Solution.
Maybe no DEI personnel who are actually qualified have applied to Valve. Maybe Valve just has no spots open because everyone likes their job and never leaves? Do people ever think about that? No. They just demand companies fire half their employees and replace them with DEI personnel instead, even if they're completely unqualified for the positions
Valve was one of the few companies during Covid that didn’t expand like at all. So they are doing great.
...."DEI personnel who are actually qualified".... If they are qualified and at least slightly better than a white male they are not really DEI any more. They would still be a merit hire. If one is someone that would traditionally be covered under DEI but can be hired on merit they really should be against DEI. Having DEI just makes everyone assume that person was hired because of it rather than because of their merit. I am sure most reasonable people would prefer to be hired on merit rather than what HR boxes they check.
They must be desperate to go after Valve

The best thing to do is simply dont say anything at all on the topic.
"Valve is extremely white and extremely male". I don't think he realizes what point he's _actually_ making here. 😂

I'm glad he accidentally agrees that those characteristics are just the best. Some may even say superior lol.
@@nkw1985it’s racist to say white male is the best but it’s also racist that they’re mad that majority of the people at the company are white and male

Can't help noticing that Valve is suddenly being hit from multiple angles, recently.
I believe it was Yahtzee from Zero punctuation/Second wind who said getting to work at Valve is like finding out you're a King or Queen of Narnia.
And those hacks at Turtle Rock Studios were like "nah, we'll rake our chances solo".
Steam being run by less than a hundred people is actually really nice to hear. So many tech companies have a bloated staff full of unnecessary people, thousands of employees whose jobs don't actually contribute anything of substance. Considering how many people are out there using Steam and how many games are on it, under a hundred people sounds like a very modest number.
The Gandalf The Grey comparison is spot on
Why do these demons want to destroy literally everything that has been built?
