    Yeah. This is a giant nothing burger

    ANY gaming, or even tech, company looking at possible acquisitions is interested in Valve. In the same way that everyone would be down to clown with Ryan Reynolds if he knocked on their door but we know it won’t happen.

    Same with the “rumor” of buying Nintendo.

      Sensationalist media will grab at anything, really.

      I mean, the Nintendo thing started with an email Phil Spencer replied to titled “random thought,” and the email was basically a lot of “Yeah that sounds great, but here’s why it’s not going to happen. But sure, though, it would be nice to own Nintendo, and I know a guy who’s been trading some of their stock if you wanted to maybe buy some.”

        Nintendo is at least publicly traded. Valve doesn’t need shareholders.
