Apple's Cook Visits Valve?

[Apr 13, 2012, 8:25 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

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.

Gabe's already rich as stink. His motivation at this point isn't money. That's why I find it off they want to go down the hardware path.

He's rich on paper. The vast majority of his net worth is from the estimated book value of his ownership stake in Valve. Considering how few people Valve actually employs, a buyout in the $5 billion range would make Gabe a very wealthy man in liquid assets and would likely set most every employee working there for life. It's not impossible to see that as a potential logical solution.

Regardless, if they sell out, it will be an all-cash transaction - I don't see Gabe selling if it involves taking on the stock of some company that he doesn't control.
