Why should they sell it to Amazon? Valve is very profitable as it is.
Also: Valve is privately owned and the owner (it may just be Gabe) is not likely to sell.

Seriously, they effectively own a money-printing machine. They ARE PC gaming.
Steam could launch their own streaming video platform. I don't see any reason why they haven't done so already. They're in a perfect spot for it.
Valve might just be the company I see as the least likely to allow buyout.
