It is a corporation. Just not publicly traded.
EDIT: I looked it up some more because it says Valve is a company and there's no citation for it being a corporation other than that Valve calls itself one. But a company is a type of corporation.
"Corporation" is a type of company. Valve is a Limited Liability Corporation or LLC.
