Microsoft is NOT Buying Valve, Gabe Newell Confirms to Fan
At least that part of those rumors was false, however- none other than Gabe Newell, head of Valve, has confirmed so. Responding to a fan via email (which is something that he is known to do quite a bit), Newell said that he is “not aware” of Valve being bought out by Microsoft. So, that ends that.
Valve fans can therefore rest easy- the company is in no danger of going corporate any time soon. Of course, this also means that said fans’ wait for Valve to actually put out a meaningful game continues. Half Life 3 will never happen.

Craig2018 Microsoft is okay for not buying it..
No one has said it was for sale. Gabe is a smart guy, smart enough to know that M$ would drive it into the ground like a hated tent peg.
Best description ever. I slightly disagree though, MS are still very successful in what they do. I think they'd change it, not necessarily for the good.

RuiBiwwy All I knew was Microsoft was buying EA.
This is a surprise for me.
But no. Microsoft ruins stuff they buy or tend too.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about...
Lmao obviously I do. Microsoft ruins stuff they buy. Valve is a good company on it's own.

I'm not surprised, despite Microsoft being a huge and prosperous company, buying valve would not be helpful. I'm glad they haven't.

Hollywood_UndeadJulsTTV Way to expose the kid's Email and IP Address. A1 Journalism.
Lmao. Media is corrupt as hell.
I remember seeing an article about how a "news" company was looking at games that can cause seizures based off the flashing of colors.
They ended up showing a clip from the game and triggered 300 seizures. This was somewhere in Japan.
didnt even notice that LOL.
also sad to see that a video clip caused 300 seizures.
