Valve's actual value as a near monopoly in their market would be astronomical. I have no doubt that they could set a price way beyond $4 billion. It's been several years ago but Gabe once said that they are more profitable per employee than Google or Apple.

And, yes, Microsoft would kill to have them. That's a market that they've spent millions trying to take before failing miserably.
