How to become a financial partner at steam

[Спарта]

I would like to invest money in the company Valve INC which for me represents the future of video games and could even become a pioneer in the automotive field like Tesla

Who to contact and how much to pay minimum?

Do you think that if I gave $ 2000 I would have some pretty good monthly income from them?

Contact them through official channels.

$2k is nothing and you probably won't even get past the door.

steam is a privately owned business, so your 2000 is not going to get you anything. there is one person that owns steam, and what you offer is not even worth his time to pick up off the floor.

They're a private company and have one of the highest revenue per employee businesses on the planet. They don't need your investment. You might want to loan a billionaire $20. But he's not interested in your offer for obvious reasons.

The problem investors bring is Valve has to start operating in your best interests. After all you want some ROI. And your interests won't always align with Valve's or their customers.

Not sure how your imagining stocks work, but that's not it. Anyone offering you a monthly income for a single $2,000 "investment" is scamming you.

Even if you bought $2,000 worth of apple in 1997 it would have taken years and years for it to be worth the kind of money you're fantasizing over.

2000 bucks? Oh man, that's a good one. Valve isn't traded. They're not going to take cash from random people and then cut them exorbitant dividend checks. If you want to invest your money, open an etrade account or start an account with one of those micro-investing websites.

Valve is a privately owned company and does not have investors.

There is no "Valve INC" either. It is Valve Corporation.

If all it took was $2k to get a good dividends from a company, then people wouldn't work, they would have invested $2k+ in companies.

Considering that USD 2,000 doesn't even cover a low paying full time job for a company? No.

2000 is like 5 seconds of their operating budget for their bandwidth usage. What do you think your $2000 is gonna get you for a company that has an off the books valuation of a billion dollars?

Valve is not an Inc.. It is an LLC privately held company. There are no shares you can buy. You could become a member of the company if the owners are interested. I would say Valvee is worth maybe $4 billion. So it would cost you hundreds of millions of dollars.

Apart from everything already said in this thread: Right now, Valve does not represent pioneering anything for the future. They exist for 17 years now and haven#t changed much regarding the general concept for more than a decade. They are around a peak right now. While this does not mean anything bad for Steam / Valve and they may well develope new ideas, investing in Valve even if it were possible, wouldn't be investing in future technology.

$2k? I've seen countless accounts that have spent that several folds over in games. So are they now CEOs of valve?

Valve would be the last company I would want to invest in lol

I would like so much to be able to invest money in them but my financial means are very limited and I hoped that this would be my escape route to make up for my loss of income

From what you just said, it doesn't look like you are an investor they would be willing to partner with.

Not thatt they haven't tried but the industry is rather set in its ways and the first question asked of any innovation is ... 'how does this make us more money?' if it doesn't result in an increased ROI, then developers and publishers won't buy into it. and very few of the developments gamers want actually meet thatt crieteria..
