Why so smug about it?

It is like.. Ohh I want to buy a money making machine for 3 yr ? worth. Just plain stupid. Even the price is 10 yr worth.. Those plp working at valve still have jobs. idk what they will do? Retirement means just one house, huge medical bills, and wallmart/publix. Not so sure the 75% of the rest of Valve will feel like old farts. Wozniak never sold.. Valve would be stupid if go for ez blinky cash. They can get aimbot/cheaters check in cs2/tf2 and $ will be thrown in their bank accounts. EZ .

Edit> Not sure if Gabe will allow that aka Player one.

So tell me If I got you wrong but you say it is an impossible situation for Valve to sell themselves to Microsoft?

First, it is a rumor about a Microsoft offer, not even talks, just "what they think to offer"
Second, it is probably the stupidest rumor I've heard, Gabe would never sell Valve to any other company, even when he is gone, his second hand has exactly the same mentality about the independence of Valve.
Third, 16 billions is probably a joke, it is estimated that Valve made 13 billion in 2022, probably a lot more last year, there's absolutely no reason to sell a company for a price you can get almost without do anything in a year.
and fourth, people must be stupid enough to think that a person with a personality like Gabe would be tented by more money, he already has everything. (except a dinosaur, of course.)

Also, this.

I just freaked out, as stated above, I was afraid of a more corporate companies subscription system would come or ruin our mods

The person who wrote the article linked their source of their "rumored" information, which was just spam by a CS2 player...

I doubt this anyways. They are already having issues with the purchases they made anyways, they more than likely would not be dumb enough to waste more at a time like this on Valve.

Worst idea ever!!!

That's how we think. Corporate old farts would sell their kids for that fast money but yes, I hope we are right that they won't do something stupid like that

NO NO NO NO NO

I dunno seems like it might be a good thing maybe we'll see a good banjo kazooie and GoldenEye on steam.

Yes, with monthly payment system and a sh*tty price tag or full online service for the games that are not even online. Go emulate these games if you want since it's possible

Fake news
