    I’m sorry…ppl thought this was real? They paid like 60 something billion for blizz. VALVE is EASILY worth that, if not double.

      Also Gabe hates Microsoft, and Valve is a private company so he doesn’t have to sell.

      Triple because valve has a reputation that isn’t shit and is literally running the biggest game market in the world.

      Obviously this is fake, but if it was spinning off steam from the game developer, then maybe?

      $12b seems far too low by that comparison. 30% of all games sales would be an outrageous annual figure.

      If steam is included, 12b is a joke, if just valves game rights, meaning HL and CS, then the price is not THAT stupid (still quite).

      Maybe this would be the way go get HL3, it would ofc be horrible cashgrab, but HL3 would be out.

      Edit: bit details, in 2021 Valve had $10b revenue from steam, and $3b revenue from other sources (heh, source, get it)
