That would only lower the quality of Steam and Valve output. Microsoft being in control of great companies does nothing to maintain their greatness. Have we learned nothing from Valve or Lionhead?

What Valve output?

Nothing as of late. I've  been playing Valve games before Steam came out though, so I know their potential. Plus, their games are still running on PC and are still top level PC games after over a decade. If Microsoft wants to own the PC realm legitimately they must go through Valve, because they did what Microsoft could not. They failed to make hub for complete social gaming while they were going after the PS3. Steam gained huggggggee profits for valve after everyone put their resources into porting their games to console last gen and PC was losing popularity for a short while. Where Windows Live failed, Steam succeeded. Microsoft tried to put Windows live behind a paywall and Steam showed them they can do it without nickel and diming consumers.
