Why would Valve sell?
- nailer 9y agoIf Microsoft guarantee the culture and let Valve take over the Windows app store it could be excellent.
- fron 9y agoThey'd find some way to ruin it. MS doesn't exactly have a good history with regards to the PC gaming market.
- sempron64 9y agoGood question. Isn't Valve the highest revenue-per-employee company in the world? There's no reason to sell a money printing machine. Unless MS is blackmailing them by threatening to lock down third party apps/app stores in Windows, which would rob them of their business model.
- Spivak 9y agoI can't imagine the lock-down plan working. I would imagine that people are far more local to Valve than MS. They would be the subject of an immediate AT lawsuit and would receive perhaps the biggest backlash in gamer history.
- nailer 9y ago> I would imagine that people are far more loyal to Valve than MS. I imagine people would go where the games are. If Valve Linux can only play, say, 80% of games that Windows can, then they'd pick Windows.
