Title: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: FatuousTwat on September 17, 2008, 06:22:01 AM http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/17/google-valve
Read about it on Blue's News, I guess a few other places have picked up the story, but all it is right now is rumor. Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Yegolev on September 17, 2008, 06:30:48 AM Believable. My only concern is that Steam might enter a permanent beta. :oh_i_see:

Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: schild on September 17, 2008, 12:48:42 PM I am not ready to outright dismiss this.
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: tazelbain on September 17, 2008, 12:51:09 PM Seems logical to me.
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Azazel on September 17, 2008, 01:53:59 PM It would actually be a really smrt move.
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Big Gulp on September 17, 2008, 03:52:54 PM This would be a genius move by Google. Take the very best digital distribution platform with a great reputation for customer satisfaction and slap the Google name on the fucker.
Frankly, if Google doesn't buy them I'd be astounded if Amazon didn't try to. Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Pennilenko on September 17, 2008, 03:57:34 PM How many time has any company, much less gaming ones, totally denied stuff of this nature only to have it be true a month later?
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Venkman on September 17, 2008, 05:01:34 PM Great, so more embedded ads but now on the Steam client?
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Yegolev on September 17, 2008, 06:48:11 PM Obviously Google is still trying to obtain enough Twinkies to meet Valve's asking price.
Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Furiously on September 18, 2008, 02:22:25 AM Google should buy Hellgate.

Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: Krakrok on September 18, 2008, 05:16:32 PM Google is working on Adsense for Games afterall. Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: MrHat on September 18, 2008, 05:27:44 PM I can see it now, parsing your chat in Counterstrike.
Then displaying a dildo from amazon.com in the buy menu instead of the AK. Title: Re: Valve being bought by Google? Post by: stu on September 18, 2008, 06:19:50 PM I don't want to hear the Oscar Meyer Wiener song everytime a player captures the intel during a TF2 match. Unless it's a server based mp3 add on.
