  While true, I don’t see Valve selling out to Microsoft.

    Fun fact, Gabe left Microsoft to found Valve. Pretty sure a few other early Valve employees were also from Microsoft.

    Never say never.

    Who knows what happens when someone else takes the helm at Valve, might not be too long either. Lots of companies see a massive shift in company policies once a new CEO takes over. Hopefully it’ll be someone that upholds the same integrity as Gabe.

      I hope so as well, as Valve is one of the few companies left these days not consisting of shareholder imbeciles.

  That doesn’t really happen though what happens is-

  • MS buys one of the biggest older players, then changes whatever direction they were going in, to their ‘new hotness’

  • MS kills the company they bought after being way too late to market, and everyone has already chosen the cool product
