    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?
