A rumor is currently doing the rounds that Microsoft wants to make a purchase offer of 16 billion US dollars to Steam operator Valve. However, there are good reasons to doubt the veracity of this statement.

Horrible news if the rumour is true (hopefully - it is not), but it could be worse (Meta, Alphabet or... EA).

Valve is not a public company. It's a private company, and their administration isn't driven by public investors. They can't be bought unless they're willing to being bough. And I can't see any future where Valve would want this.

If this were to happen, it would be a contradiction, considering that the owner of Valve is not Microsoft's biggest fan.

I think this rumor has already been debunked yesterday...


But for the joke's sake: remember that Microsoft payed 5 billion $$ for "Minecraft" and then only offering 16 billion $$ for Valve. That's beyond ridiculous.
