Gaben kicks the bucket, and his minions sell Steam to EA what do?

>>387148956
Sell steam account and stop playing video games

Just switch over to my pirated collection Also you imply that his minions would rather sell a literal cash cow that could keep them rich indefinitely for a quick buck.

Buy ea access and suckle on ea tits until i become poor and live on the streets, then ill become a whore and use my holes as some sort of currency in the hobo economy.

switch to GoG completely except for what I already own on Steam.

When this happens Steam will be worth around 15 billion USD, with an annual 4-7 billion in revenue, assuming Gaben lives another 15-25 years. Why in the fuck would they sell?

>>387148956
Rage on /v/

I could give less of a shit honestly, even with 200+ Steam games in my account
I'll just continue playing consoles

Continue as normal
Valve is hardly better these days. At least if EA was behind it we might get a new left 4 dead

Why would they sell to EA? Seems like a stupid decision.

That's also somewhat unlikely, given that they're not in need of major capital infusions. But even if they did, it would take a very, very large amount of money to take over Valve, more than even EA would be willing to front.

>>387148956
Steam is as bad as ea
Prove me wrong
You literally can't

The FTC breaks them up into baby EAs.

They are most likely the biggest gaming company on the market right now.

The difference there is that they were given the opportunity to sell rather than be forced to compete. Most startups trying to compete with Facebook or Google tend to flounder, so why not cash out and turn their problems over to the big dogs?

Whole fucking point of silicon valley startups is to grow fast and sell out before everyone notices that your shit actually a fucking nothing that doesn't make any money. See: instagram, twitter, tumblr, snapchat, etc.

Steam is growing every year and brings mad fucking profits to Valve. They are 13 years past startup point. It's like saying that facebook will sell to anyone because it's a silicon valley startup.
