Valve Worth $3B?

[Mar 07, 2012, 10:12 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Forbes declares Valve's Gabe Newell "The Newest Video Game Billionaire" in an article on the success of Valve and Steam. They admit that they can't know the true financial state of Valve, which is privately owned, but they offer a "conservative" estimate that's pretty eye-popping: "Even the most conservative estimates put Valve’s enterprise value at more than $3 billion, and since Newell owns more than 50% of the company, that means he’s worth at least $1.5 billion."

They have no reason to want to buy out anyone else. For vengeance, justice, and the good of all mankind. To buy them and destroy them, before they can do that to any more game devs. It's painful to consider what might have been... if not for EA.
