Almost certainly fake, but what a horrible thought.
Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo and Valve before. It was in the leaked documents. And I’m sure Microsoft makes suggestions all the time, we just don’t hear about it usually. We mostly hear about deals that happen.
Besides that, I can’t imagine that a competitor could buy a competitor. That would be illegal in most cuntries. Unlike Activision, which was not a competitor to Microsoft.
Yeah, I think all indications have been that Microsoft is getting out of the video game business. Or, if they were planning on staying in, why would they close a bunch of studios, including successful ones like Hi-Fi Rush’s Tango games.
according to unverifiable rumours. … The leak comes from an unknown and unreliable source in the gaming industry.
But continues to write an entire article about it. I wouldn’t be shocked if the rumor was set by the person who writes the article itself. Edit: Which itself is only a few paragraphs, but filled with ads, links and images on the entire page.
Also wouldn’t that pull in major antitrust violation cases especially in the EU?
I don’t wanna jinx it, but there is no way that this deal would go through
I’ts not about integrity, it’s about clicks. It doesn’t matter if you read the headline, only if you clicked.
As long as valve say no then they can offer all they like. That is the advantage of not being a publicly traded company!
Valve is way more valuable than Activision-Blizzard-King.
Good Lord, no. Please no.
Considering Valve is one of the biggest backers of Linux that would be horrible (ofc it’s ai generated nonsense).
$16B for Valve ? Clown offer 🤡
I was okay with them getting Blizzard because, well, how much worse could Blizzard actually get with the merger?
But this? I sincerely hope this never happens. Valve isn’t the complete shit-show that Blizzard has been. Valve actually understands its customers and seemingly, mostly, respects them. Please for all things good in this universe, keep it that way.
As long as Gaben runs Valve, I can see him just laughing and saying no to whatever offer Microsoft gives

If this happens I’m inciting riots.
