If Valve was a publicly traded company, Steam would have turned to shit ages ago.
No, Microsoft Probably Isn’t Going To Buy Valve
Clickbait.
It’s fake
Who was even suggesting that this was a thing that might ever happen?
Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.
Huh, I didn’t know that. (emphasis mine)
Shares aren’t necessarily voting shares, but I don’t know how that works and if it’s even relevant for the private Valve corporation.
So maybe Gabe Newell does have full control over Valve, or he might not.
It’s definitely interesting that it’s only 25%.

A terrible idea for whom? Microsoft? I think not.
I would. There’d hopefully be an exodus.
There most definitely wouldn’t be. No one cares.
Been plenty of exoduses from MS lately. Oh! You mean ones led by the employees…
No exoduses that I’m aware of. Show me.
Lmao they laid off 1900 from Activision Blizzard last year and shuttered multiple XBox game studios this month! Sure, I suppose they could all just hang around and work as volunteers, but I suspect they’ll be doing that exodus thing.
Mass firing is not an exodus. Exodus is when people are fleeing, and generally in terms of liberation. Firing people is just firing people
No definition I’ve ever heard requires an exodus to be initiated by the people leaving. Also, if you read the comment that started all this, I was explicit that I didn’t mean employee-led. So thanks for stopping by weeks later to display your ignorance and/or lack of reading comprehension.
