Not that it really matters, but Wikipedia lists Valve as being ~360 people, while Canonical is 566.

Valve had an estimated $4.3B in revenue; Canonical's revenues were $110M. Copied from ThrowawayR2 comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20250149

That is a lot of revenue for 360 people. Dang.

It's mostly passive revenue from the 30% cut of games sold on Steam, and revenue from cosmetic items (many of which are user-designed, anyway).
