Steam's for-profit too. The term you're looking for that describes CDPR but not Valve is "publicly traded" or simply "has shareholders".

"For-profit" refers to a legally binding obligation to shareholders to maximize profit. It does not simply mean "wants money". You can be for-profit without being publicly traded, but since Valve is private we'll never know.
