This is so stupid. Of course they would buy it. Valve won't sell, but let's do the click baits!

They’d buy Sony and Nintendo if those were up to sell. For the right price (I dunno, in the hundreds of dollars according to my bank account), I’d buy them too.

Look at Daddy Warbucks over here.

Yeah 100% this. Why would you not buy Valve? The store is a cash cow and the userbase is huge. They have a lot of good faith with the community too. These must be rage bait articles.

They can buy the Steam forums.

As long as Gabe lives, this won't be a problem.

But he's getting on in age so this will eventually be an issue, no doubt...

Gabe will have a good successor. Valve has a lot of talented and passionate employees that have been with the company since near the start.

This nothing email has been making headlines for a week and it's so frustrating. It's literally just a guy from outside the gaming division saying "what if" and Phil saying "sure, that'd be neat"
