@dariusponyperson Dude, Valve's always been about self-funding. And they run the most successful online game distribution method ever. I don't think they have any good reason to let EA buy them out.

@redenchilada Also why would Gabe sell? People typically sell when they're either bored or feeling greedy. Gabe doesn't seem to be either.

@ceruleanspark The classic manoeuvre is to sell your company to the absolute highest bidder, then retire immediately to swim around in your pool filled with money.

@redenchilada I just get sick an tired of expanding gaming into a grey black sludge you kinda get sick of it. what next? the try to buy out nintendo?
Monday, 10-Sep-12 14:02:07 UTC from web-
@dariusponyperson true, but what change could really happen? Its like halo going to 343 industries rather then bungie.
-
@firestormdangerdash then again we all know what happened to Spyro...
-
@firestormdangerdash I just look at mass effect and then realise I wasted my bloody life on those games for no reason also if they bought out nintendo their PR would go down the toilet every new game would have an online pass and lets not forget the bucket loads of pre order and normal dlc. OH HEY I GOT AN IDEA WHY NOT MAKE THE NEW 3D MARIO GAMES ENDING COST 10 BUCKS VIA PRE ORDER DUURRR HURRR

@redenchilada Sometimes it's not about "letting" someone buy you; very often what happens is you get forced into it. And EA's the type of corporation that can do something like that.

@dariusponyperson Valve is probably worth more than $1 billion, and also NO NO NO NO NO.
-
@lovetolerateandsquee I like how Gabe Newell said "Studio would more likely disintegrate than be sold". But yeah, EA Games? If that would ever happen, I wouldn't even WANT Steam on my Linux system anymore. I trust and like VALVe, I wouldn't even talk to EA Games if they were the last company in the world.

@omni When is Steam for Linux coming out anyway?
-
@lovetolerateandsquee The beta should be this month, there is already an entry in the Steam database: http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/apps/16549. The "final" release is, according to Phoronix, scheduled for February. But I want this god-damn beta now :(

@omni Well I'm probably not getting my laptop until March, so that's good I guess.

@snowcone Isn't it obvious? the next game in the half life series will be half life 2 episode 2.2 and 1/2 part 2

@dariusponyperson Oh wow EA bought PopCap? Even more reason for me never to go near their games.

@toksyuryel A year ago. xD

@dariusponyperson Also EA will probably force a Portal 3 even though there's probably no storyline continuation potential.
-
@lovetolerateandsquee Sounds like someone never played through the co-op mode.
Monday, 10-Sep-12 14:34:33 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel None of my friends play Portal :/
-
@lovetolerateandsquee You're missing out on about half the game then, as the story continues in it.
Monday, 10-Sep-12 14:37:49 UTC from web -
@lovetolerateandsquee I have Portal 2, but my owner doesn't want to finish co-op with me. Maybe we can play it together once the Steam for Linux client gets released? :P
Monday, 10-Sep-12 14:46:41 UTC from web-
@omni I wish :/ I bought Portal 2 for my Xbox before I got into PC gaming... I feel stupid now, I could've saved loads of money AND got the Perpetual Testing Initiative.
