Xbox fans will say this is good.
But they would be wrong. More monopoly is never good.
I'm an Xbox fan but I'm first a Linux fan and PC gaming fan. This is bad. Valve needs to stay private.
DONE with valve if this were to happen.
I'd rather not game at all than put up with that shit.
Anyone else foresee a "Microsoft VS Disney Power Games" style thing coming soon? Since MS is practically buying game companies like no tomorrow....
Fist Nintendo and now Valve. They really dream big. But even if they would be up for purchase, I don't think it would be allowed after how long it took for Blizzard to be bought.

Guess WE should buy it. Ensure 51% of the shares are locked up tight. It is a private company, so Valve would have to be cool with it. Otherwise, the wrong person getting a divorce, dividing assets in half, and it is all over.
