This is one of the basic concepts of capitalism and any business model.
Business is entirely about a person or persons banding together with the
objective to make a profit.

If profit wasn't Valve's motivator, what would inspire them to continue
to build platforms like Steam, and release new games?

It doesn't just apply to Valve, it applies to _any_ company.  If you
want them to do something, the reason they do it is because you're
either going to increase their bottom line, or because whatever you
aren't satisfied with is decreasing their bottom line.

This answer was purely about profit for valve. Like I said before, money
is
what matters for them. Unless you make a difference to their bottom
line,
you don't matter.
