According to 80lv , rumors have recently spread widely on forums and social media about Microsoft's imminent acquisition of Valve for $16 billion. However, the Redmond tech giant quickly refuted the claims.
This rumor was started by user xDiorCS on the social network X and quickly spread by many YouTubers and online news sites. Many people are worried about the prospect of Valve, especially its Steam gaming platform, being acquired by Microsoft.
Given the rapid spread of the news, some have speculated that Newell's consideration of selling the company stems from the leaks about the Deadlock project over the past week. However, many others are skeptical, arguing that such a deal is unlikely under the current circumstances.
The rumor originated from a post on X.
However, Tom Warren, a game industry insider and senior editor at the technology site The Verge , has spoken out to refute these rumors. He asserted that no acquisition deal is underway as speculated, and that Microsoft has no plans to acquire Valve in the near future.
Warren also added that the $16 billion figure is considered too low compared to Valve's annual profits and that xDiorCS has not provided any evidence to substantiate this rumor.
The rumors may stem from documents revealed in last year's FTC (Federal Trade Commission) lawsuit against Microsoft, which disclosed that Microsoft had internally considered acquiring Nintendo or Valve in 2020. However, this was only an internal discussion and was never officially proposed to Nintendo or Valve.
