You say that, but spaceX wasn't a public company 3 weeks ago either.

SpaceX was also founded and largely owned by Elon Musk.

That was rather my point, public or private company doesn't really matter much compared to the leadership.

Public companies must be penny pinching

Private companies have the choice not to be

There's absolutely no obligation to be penny pinching for public companies, the leadership is obligated to act in the best interests of the company but that's about it.

The motivations and reward schemes may be very different, public company CEO may be incentivised to maximise share price for instance and that may attract the kind of psychopath that will try and maximise share price by penny pinching - equally I don't think anyone could make a serious argument that being more like Steam would be acting against the best interests of a company selling games.
