Valve on Being Acquired [Aug 05, 2008, 09:20 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A Q&A with
Valve's Lombardi Gamasutra from yesterday (thanks Ant and
Play.tm) makes mention of Valve's
openness to being acquired, though it seems like this is more an answer to a
hypothetical question, rather than an indication that a deal for the developer
is in the works. On being acquired Lombardi says they are "happy to have that
conversation," but adds: "By the same token, the company's doing pretty well,
and we're really happy with what we're doing, So we'll see. I mean, anything is
possible." The remainder of that piece concentrates on heaping praise on
Electronic Arts. The
main body
of the Q&A is posted separately on Gamasutra, focusing on Valve's
acquisition of Turtle Rock Studios and progress on Left 4 Dead.
There's no mention of it ever happening anywhere in that article. Just says they're open to speaking about it and, as is often the case with Valve, they're happy to speak about anything at all. They often talk release dates, too. Doesn't mean it happens;P
And anyway, like Gabe himself said a couple of months back when asked about the chance of an EA buyout, he said Valve have no interest in buying out EA.
