This is the moral of every tech company. FFS, learn and keep the greeds out.

I do think the clock is ticking, though. The deterioration of Google's culture will eventually become irreversible, because the kinds of people whom you need to act as moral compass are the same kinds of people who don't join an organisation without a moral compass.

And then don't ever, ever go public. Once you go public all the greedy people will insist that you install more greedy people.

I think this is a big reason Valve did not go public
