We may enter the worst possible timeline (though I know Gabe is likely to say no to the deal).

I know MS isn't doing so hot right now, but I also know Steam is still doing dandy, they now have a handheld and an OS, and well, one is a market MS has been ignoring for years, and another is a thorn in their side, so them buying out Valve would give them a total monopoly on PC gaming, allow them to replace Steam OS and gain a handheld market.

I hope to god Gabe just says no, and I hope the entirety of Valve say no for decades to come. MS is going back to their old ways as usual. The honeymoon for making up with PC gaming as a whole is over at this point.

16 Billion is an insane under-evaluation for the definitive pc gaming platform. Probably fake imo. If Valve takes that, they are selling themselves short.
