    I have heard that its not too hard to start your own project when working at valve.

    Maybe it will turn into their next game, or a new steam feature or it will get canned.

      Is that still accurate? Their employees handbook was legendary a decade ago, but since then there have been rumours that this isn’t the case any longer, and that there were significant problems behind the scenes.

      I mean with that money printing machine and good reputation among users it’s no doubt be cozy for devs to start stuff without having someone breath down their neck for costing too much money or too high of a risk.
