We do need new paradigms of ownership. Ultimately, corporate entities can be democratic, if the shares are distributed to many people and not concentrated in the hands of a few. What would happen if everyone just bought into it? Player owned company? It could be done.
I think what you’re describing where the owners are the users/clients/members is called a mutual, but yeah co-op, mutual, non profit, etc structures all are better options. and if you need to go with a c-corp or not, unionize.
Time to make valve a coop then.
