Bruh, that's a bad rumor. After their hellish uphill battle to get Activision, no way they have the funds to buy out Valve. Much less get any approved votes to actually buy them.

Indeed lol Though the leaked document from years ago showed that Microsoft did think of the silly idea lol

Phil did think of buying valve before. The leaked document is true. But the 16 billion tweet stuff is of course just a baseless tweet and thus i posted it on the glchat thread with the lol before. Then D_S made this thread.

more like a picture of a very unhealthy and very very Obese Gaben lol

Pretty sure Gabe makes more from Steam that he even knows, MS couldn't touch it lol.

Why are we judging a game that hasn’t even been revealed properly?

We're not, this is about companies and services.

What bothers me more than anything is that people want this rumor to be true. They're literally cheering on the destruction of the industry via monopolization

Gaben would answer with "over my dead Body Microsoft!" lol

Had a co-worker freak out about that the other day, no one will keep Steam the same.

If that did happen it be interesting to see what it turn in to.

There is no way that Valve is only worth $18B? They pretty much dominate the PC gaming market, seconded by Epic games. I am not that great with numbers but the logic doesn't seem to add up. I hope this is just a false rumor, I love steam the way it is.
