Here's Why Microsoft Buying Valve Is A Terrible Idea
Here's Why Microsoft Buying Valve Is A Terrible Idea
And why it most definitely isn't going to happen...
You're viewing a single thread.
Who was even suggesting that this was a thing that might ever happen?
I think MS expressed interest in the idea. But I doubt even they saw it as an actual possibility.
Thats exactly it. I think it was Phil Spencer who said he'd want Microsoft to buy Valve if the chance came up. In the same sentence he said he would buy Nintendo, too. In the same way a Gen Z'er might say "I'd like to buy a house someday."
Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.
Huh, I didn't know that. (emphasis mine)
I still don't know it. I don't have a huge amount of confidence in "a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community" as a source for Valve's internal finances.
Shares aren't necessarily voting shares, but I don't know how that works and if it's even relevant for the private Valve corporation.
So maybe Gabe Newell does have full control over Valve, or he might not.
It's definitely interesting that it's only 25%.
