Apple Insider writes Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly visited the Bellevue, Washington headquarters of Valve Corporation today. They proceed to get so caught up in speculation of the possible implications of this that they never get around to explaining the source of this report. Thanks GameInformer.

I'd nuke my steam install the second a press release crosses the wires saying Apple is buying Valve and will never look back at it, nor care about the content of the games installed with it.

pretty silly to think Valve would be willing to let this happen.

To say the least. The cornerstone of Valve is being a private company with no meddlers. It gives them a huge amount of freedom to never release Half Life 3, and they aren't exactly hurting for cash either.

Of all software companies, Valve is probably the least likely to ever be acquired by anyone.




If you don't like where gaming is heading, stop giving your money to the people who are taking it in that direction.
