genuinely lost respect for anyone who lacked the critical thinking to believe MS could purchase Valve for just $16b this sort of dumb unverified rumor is the shit that happens when we lose all of our actual games journalism & everyone just tries to spin hype out of computer hallucination

Someone started this rumor just to farm engagement right before they launch a project of theirs, from what I've heard.

I'm sure some people have steam libraries of unplayed games larger than that :p

It would shock me quite a bit if Valve actually wanted to be bought, seems like they're just happy being The Videogame Store and occasionally making games on an as-they-feel-like basis.

Gamers being gung-ho about every potential acquisition (real or not) is not a new thing unfortunately. I remember in the GameCube era people were sure MS was going to buy Nintendo at one point.

No number would really surprise me for Valve unless it were under $100 billion. I also doubt Valve is for sale.

The fact that they threw 60b at Activision, a company barely held together by the brands it owns, makes the idea of buying Valve for cheaper is so laughable.
