Valve is a "flat" organization, where your compensation is determined based on peer review.

Rockstar, and owner Take-Two (largely owned by institutional investors--well known for their historical championing of workers rights and fondness of unions), both seem to have your typical corporate hierarchies, where executives are fairly and correctly compensated for being more productive than over 200 software engineers combined.

If you think one person can be as productive as 200, you're sniffing glue, my friend.

Executives make more money because they are the only ones with the power to set wages. Workers do not have the power to set wages.

Oh, I don't, I was being very sarcastic, but I appreciate that your response was so measured under the assumption that I was serious, haha.
