I thought they already owned Turtle Rock Studios. I mean there Left 4 Dead imput sounded like how a main company handles a 1st party but independent developer.

Well neat though.

That's how their relationship has been...they did all the previews for Left 4 Dead at Valve headquarters, and all the CS: Source stuff went through Valve. It was really just the next logical step. Perhaps Turtle Rock felt like being more independent for a while, but now, coming near Left 4 Dead's release, an acquistion is good press, and it'll help get the game done as well.
