GOOD. i hope that Bethesda do this, and slap those valve guys for thier lack of love for the ps3.
Rumor: Bethesda to buy Valve?
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I must say that hope it's not true since studio's that are bought out tend to lose a lot of their personality.
On the other hand with more funding we might see Half-Life episodes more often.

This is really terrible news. As a small, independent dev team; Valve have access to some of the basic ethical and moral standards that elude megacorps like Zenimax.
If this goes through, I think we can bid farewell to the free updates, maps and weapons that come bundled with Valve games.
I don't think Valve will accept.

Not going to happen.
EA is the primary publisher for valve retail.
which is something considering that EA simply Gobbles up studios that they usually publish games for...
simply said, if EA can't buy out the Valve name, do you really think that ZeniMax could?
further more, do you REALLY think EA would let something as lucritive as Valve games out of their greedy little claws?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, oh, man, this idea is too funny for words. Oh man...
...Wait. You mean you're serious?
Well, shit.

My main problem with this would be Valve not getting credit for games. People think EA made Dead Space. You know, stuff like that. It's simply not true, but people don't realize the difference between developers and publishers a lot of the time. I really want Valve to remain independent. Their my favorite gaming developer company thing! I also don't want people from another company programming with them, at least not on their main titles (half-life, etc).
Anyways, I highly doubt this is true. Here's to hoping.
By the way, I can't see Valve accepting this offer for money reasons. I'm quite sure their not poor in anyway. Especially considering their going to spend 25 mill on advertising for Left 4 Dead.

Yep. That's right. Nintendo is currently in it's 110th year of business.
Granted, they've only been making 'electronic toys' since the 1970's...
(They started with making cards for a japanese card game called 'Hanafuda')
But it puts things in perspective doesn't it?
I really don't see that as an actual post, you should be banned for stupidness, and yes, that is a word. Seriously man, you should at least post something contributing to the original post... I'm drunk and I can do better than you.TitsMcGee1804 said:
