Valve Corporation is a privately owned American entertainment software and technology company founded in 1996. Employing approximately 1160 people, the company's primary business is the development and publishing of computer games. In addition to game development, Valve operates the Steam video game distribution platform and produces gaming hardware peripherals.
In 2013, Valve Corporation introduced cosmetic items to Counter-Strike, establishing a significant trading market within the game. This trading continues to be a major component of the Steam economy. Microsoft recently updated its Xbox app for Windows, creating a universal game launcher that may compete with Steam and the Steam Deck. Nearly two years after the release of Counter-Strike 2, a negative trend of disregard for player concerns has emerged, potentially harming the game's popularity. Gabe Newell, co-founder and president, has shifted his focus to luxury yacht building.
