I personally don't think that Gabe will sell Valve... but this argument is a bit flawed:
George Lucas also already had more money than he could ever spend. And if he had produced the new Star Wars movies himself, he would probably have earned more money than Disney was willing to pay him. Nevertheless he sold Lucasfilm to Disney.
So there have been precedences going against common sense.

I think you are missing the point.
Gabe clearly doesn't want to sell.
What can Microsoft do, to change his mind?
Simply offering money would very likely not work.
George Lucas probably didn't want Lucasfilms anymore.

Sorry, but we don't know that. Again you are stating an assumption as fact.
It were also possible that Gabe is acting that he doesn't want to sell until the deal is made and his NDA allows the announcement. Notch wasn't open about selling Mojang either... he even wrote that he was aware "this goes against a lot of what I’ve said in public".
And we don't know at what point "George Lucas probably didn't want Lucasfilms anymore". Was it before or after Disney made him an offer?
