My guess is Valve is bought by Apple at some point.

Uh...are you forgetting that Valve owns Steam?

There's no way Valve would ever be sold to Apple.

Ya i know, do you think the Gov would not allow it?

[Sohcahtoa82]

No, I think Valve doesn't want to be bought, whether it's through an acquisition or by IPO.

Valve was bootstrapped by Gaben. It doesn't have any investors that want an exit, doesn't need to raise funds, and Gaben is already a billionaire. They have no incentive to sell themselves.

I def agree, but things change. Gabe will get older at some point and something will happen. If not him, his kids.
