    Translation: They outsource a lot.

    Edit: Lol, downvoted by people too dense to realize you need way more than 100 people to operate in over 200 countries with as much business as they do. OFC they outsource a lot. Your local Walmart has 100 employees.

      Why do you think they need outsourcing? Do you really think that 100 people is not enough?

        They do outsource. There are contractors checking to make sure that, when you submit a game to Steam, it isn’t malware and has all of the features that you say it has. And those are just the ones I know about.

          They absolutely outsource janitorial. I’ve never been at a company that didn’t.

          You don’t usually have your senior devs vacuuming the carpet and emptying bins at the end of the day.

        Steam claims they’re available in over two hundred countries. Do you really think that one employee for every two countries is enough?
