Apparently 50%+ of the company belongs to Gabe himself, presumably he would pass it on to some very trusted. That makes a hostile takeover pretty unlikely.

I really hope he is secretly investing in cloning so we can get Gaben (2) joining Valve soon. Or atleast invest some money in uploading his consciousness into a giant metal head ๐Ÿ—ฟ

We'll never have a gaben (3) ๐Ÿ˜ญ

He could just turn it into a nonprofit at some point with some specific rules in place about how certain things are handled within the company.
