Honestly, Valve should just become a worker-owned co-op when Gabe is gone. They already have the culture for it with their “desks on wheels” structure, where employees can move around the company to whatever project they are most interested in/can use their skills the most. That’s usually one of the biggest hurdles to a company succeeding as a co-op, and Valve has been running that way for years.

Fakespot was somewhat accurate at catching when Amazon sellers take a well-reviewed item and swap out the product for another, by changing the title, description, and pictures. We’ve probably all read a review on Amazon that feels like the reviewer is posting a review of a completely different product, like a review that seems to be about a kitchen utinsil on a listing for an unusually affordable camera. It’s a pretty common scam that Fakespot was pretty good at catching. It didn’t seem as good at adjusting ratings for legit products and seemed to kind of randomly knock off a a half to one and a half stars on pretty much every listing, even on quality products.
