Valve's unique approach to corporate governance is probably the reason why it's such an efficient company.

          I don’t think it’s misleading, “generating” implies gross profit, not net. It’s not explicit, but it’s also not misleading.

              Again, implying gross profit, not net. It didn’t say “makes” 50 million profit. You are inferring something that is not otherwise implied.

                Nah he’s right. Nobody buys a widget for 5 bucks and sells it for 10 bucks and says, “I made 10 bucks”. By your rational I could buy a car new for 25 grand, sell it 10 years later for 12 grand and say I “made” 12 grand off it.
                “Make” has typically implied profit for as long as I can remember.
