Rumor: Microsoft Wants to Buy Valve and Just Bid a Record Sum
Microsoft, which has been acquiring the beloved studios of the gaming world one by one, may have set its sights on Valve, which also owns Steam.
Tech giant Microsoft has acquired many popular game studios over the last few years.
In addition to the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, which took almost two years to finalize, the company, which also took Bethesda under its roof, recently caused the reaction of the players by closing popular studios such as Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks under its roof.
Microsoft seems to be targeting Valve, which also owns Steam, once again.
In fact, although the allegations are not new, we can say that they have flared up again. According to the claim, which was brought back to the agenda by content producer Dior, Microsoft is preparing a $16 billion offer to buy Valve.
If the allegations are true and Valve agrees to come under Microsoft's umbrella, Microsoft could also own Steam.
Valve's net worth is unknown, but estimates suggest that the company earns more than $10 billion a year. In addition, Gabe Newell, the CEO and founder of the company, is estimated to have a fortune of over 4 billion dollars.
