Analysis

Valve at C=50, B=60, rank #861, is the most enigmatic company in gaming, a flat organisation with a monopoly-grade storefront and a reputation for benign neglect. The business score leading suggests Steam's dominance is doing the heavy lifting. Tension at 10 means the market is not yet angry at the gatekeeper.
