KnackChap Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 WELL PLACED SOURCES tell us that Google is going to be buying Valve any second now. If you have to stop and think about why, you probably are not aware of Steam, Valve's amazing content distribution platform. Google Portal may be a nice idea, but that is irrelevant. Google Content Distribution (Beta) however should make just about every other competitor lose several years of sleep, most of their remaining hair, and large gobs of stock price. Valve has the best content distribution platform out there, bar none. Steam may have had rough patches here and there, but they are almost all ironed out now, and just about everyone that matters has signed up to use it. When Google picks them up, it will be a clean kill, no one else will matter. It is a good buy for them, a good thing for Valve, and in general, good for everyone except MS. Then again, they are irrelevant now, so who cares? Long live Voogle, or is that Golve? DAMMIT!µ http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/new...17/google-valve if true, HOLY sh*t!!

MarketTantrik Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I think Google is more interested in the tech behind Steam than Valve's games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthelon Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Lets say this is true (which I highly doubt it), can anyone garner a guess as to how much the bid might be take over Valve? I'd say anywhere near $300 to $500 million.... any guesses??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Valve Kills Google Buy-Out Rumor Earlier today The Inquirer quotes well placed sources as saying that Google was going to be buying Valve "any second now," setting all of our hearts a flutter. While the idea seems crazy at first blush Valve's Doug Lombardi has said they're willing to be bought. So we checked in with Lombardi himself this morning and he put our minds at ease, telling us it is purely a rumor, a bit of fiction. With Google out of the picture, I guess the real question is who exactly would Valve like to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
