Earlier this week, a bit of an unhealthy rumor broke out in the public space that Microsoft was likely to acquire Valve to boost its gaming business. Originally, the rumors were mainly rotated for Electronic Arts, but Valve's name was also mentioned. Take air and exhale calmly. As for Gabe Newell, this can not happen.
Newell assured this Steam fan who asked him anxiously about such a possibility, which he told him he did not know about such a thing. The news comes through ResetEra. "Are Valve bought from Microsoft? Please respond, the community is shaken, "the Steam community member said. "I do not know anything like that," Newell replies loudly.
Of course, such a speculation would upset a lot of people, but Valve seems to be a pretty successful company that Redmond will have to get really deep. Of course, everything is possible in the technological world. Microsoft's boss Satya Nadela, once again a day ago, has declared her dedication to making gaming one of the main pillars of profitability for the company. Microsoft introduced the most powerful console hardware at the end of last year - Xbox One X. In addition, the company announced an initiative that, according to experts, could shake the industry fundamentally - the entry of the latest games coming from the company's partners in the subscription service Xbox Game Pass, a move that is supposed to help Microsoft catch up with Sony in the console race. Assuming, of course, that such a thing is at all.
