That only makes it worst.
Being "a group of pals just working on what we want" is fine when you are small Co., but past a certain size you need someone to say "you do this and you do that, end of the story".

They really need to hire a bunch of support people as well. Having some of the industries top programmers and designers handling support tickets etc is kinda a waste of their time. Especially now that Steam is so big, I mean it often takes upwards of a week for support tickets to be handled that is just not good business. But hireing a lot of far less talented (no dissrespect to anyone in that line of work but most of the people at Valve are at the top of their feild and/or multitalented) people to handle one specific menial tasks like customer support is against their entire philosophy.

Then, their philosophy is flawed.
If, to put an example, can't hire a cleaner/janitor because their philosophy tells them to only hire the best cleaners/janitors in the market, they will soon find themselves among a pile of sh*t so big that they won't be able to do anything.
Valve, you no longer are a "simple" games developer, you did grow past that point a long time ago. Get your sh*t done!

They could always contract it out to other companies. I mean they wouldn't want a couple hundred plebs on their annual company cruise.
