Microsoft is NOT Buying Valve, Gabe Newell Confirms to Fan
At least that part of those rumors was false, however- none other than Gabe Newell, head of Valve, has confirmed so. Responding to a fan via email (which is something that he is known to do quite a bit), Newell said that he is “not aware” of Valve being bought out by Microsoft. So, that ends that.
Valve fans can therefore rest easy- the company is in no danger of going corporate any time soon. Of course, this also means that said fans’ wait for Valve to actually put out a meaningful game continues. Half Life 3 will never happen.

Biwwy All I knew was Microsoft was buying EA.
This is a surprise for me.
But no. Microsoft ruins stuff they buy or tend too.
Ruin EA?
Don't even think that's possible considering the current state of EA and their games.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about...

Valve doesn't need the money, I could only imagine how broken it would be if Microsoft bought it. Example: Xbox Play Anywhere, it's cool but has little to no games...

I never heard this rumor. Even if I did I would've told you this would never happen. Gabe Newell would never sell Valve. It's a massive company and there is no reason to sell.
