And what about when Gabe is gone? Because he is certainly the exception and not the standard for ultra wealthy capitalists.

It can be done if the culture is deeply deeply rooted in long tenured employees. I think of Apple, while an imperfect example, I feel like Steve jobs would be happy with where they are right now culturally. Obviously, he doesn’t deserve all the credit having had a large team of people but he largely drove a strong intentional culture as a leader and he carefully selected and fostered other leaders who would carry it forward.
I'd propose we make more people like Gabe Newell then, which doesn't happen by removing capitalism from the equation.
I think I’m sorta a cool guy, can you make me a billionaire?
