Valve is not, and has never been, for sale.
It's the "lifestyle company" of a bunch of Microsoft Millionaires, who wanted to have fun making games. Then they were in the right place at the right time to make Steam. There is no realistic point in their history when they would have both seemed to be this successful, and would have entertained buyout offers.
- PaulHoule 6y agoThat's why i said 'perfect' (for gamestop) The two-sided market structure makes it almost impossible for a new entrant in that area. Steam remarkably has good feelings from both gamers and developers and the current ownership structure helps keep it that way: not squeezing the last penny and not being inclined to throw Steam under the bus to chase the new shiny.
