Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Thank you for posting the rules. I guess I'll call the fag police on OP.

"However, Valve company president Gabe Newell said the Valve would "disintegrate" rather than be purchased by another a company."

[–]Templated 8 points9 points ago

You can always trust Gabe :3

[–]Mrlongleggedmcdaddy 2 points3 points ago

If EA tried to buy Valve, this is what would happen. Remember in Harry Potter where all the House Tables stood up except Slyhterin to guard Harry? That would happen except Harry was Gabe and the house tables would be gaming rigs.

It would just start the piracy that Valve stopped..

[–]iAnonymousGuy 1 point2 points ago

they arent considering. they considered. they got rejected. its older news.

[–]bobthecrusher 2 points3 points ago

OH YEAH VALVE OBVIOUSLY HAS NO SAY IN THE MATTER AND WOULD JUST GO 'LOLKAY, WE'RE YOURS NOW'

[–]mjmax 2 points3 points ago

Was considering, not is considering.

[–]hardwarethrowaway 0 points1 point ago

They say that every man has a price. It more than likely wont ever happen because there is of course a point where that price becomes bad business for the ones doing the purchasing but it is interesting to think about what that price may be.

At least they have good taste

[–]Midweek1 -1 points0 points ago

In my opinion, EA SHOULD GO AND DIE IN A FUCKING HOLE!!!

[–]bit_pusher 0 points1 point ago

I would be surprised if EA was the only company that considered buying Valve.

[–]katsuga125[S] -2 points-1 points ago

[–]mattattaxx 2 points3 points ago

Because EA considered trying, does not mean EA is going to buy them.

Valve already clarified this.

[–]TriggaFinger 1 point2 points ago

My insides would cry if this happened

[–]Apocol0id 1 point2 points ago

You know why they want to buy steam? Because they just realized that they can't remake it with Origin, so they're giving up.

[–]Kyleisbeast 1 point2 points ago

EA should stick to what it's good at, ruining games.

[–]shloobenstein 1 point2 points ago

Not only is this not interesting or amusing in any way shape or form, but as another commenter pointed out, EA was considering at one point buying Valve (not Steam), but decided against it (or they made an offer and Valve declined, I'm not entirely sure). So your post is awful. Go away.
