Valve on Being Acquired

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.

So it's better that they be acquired by one of these big companies so that they can keep operating business as usual?

Nobody says that.

(Because that is totally going to happen!)

Can you please tell me the next lottery numbers? Thnx! I give you 10 percent, ok?
