*Valve laughs in Gabe Newell, owner of Valve and former employee of Microsoft.
Motherfucker left Microsoft to focus on games. He spearheaded the move to Linux to protect their store from becoming blocked on Windows. He knows how Microsoft works, intimately.
I’d be really surprised if Valve got sold to Microsoft while Newell still lives.
We must protect this man at all costs.
Unfortunately, we can’t protect him from weight related heart issues :/
Fat jokes aren’t funny.
Except this one, and only because we’ve all been there.
He’s 60 years old. He’ll probably be around in good health for another 10 years.
I sure hope so. But at his weight, people can start having heart problems fairly early. Then again it seems he’s lost some in recent years, so maybe he’ll get to see old age.
HOW DARE YOU?
got sold to Microsoft while Newell still lives.
Surely you mean while he’s “Still Alive”, right?

Also GLaDOS: “Managing to misspell a word that is only a single letter definitely is some kind of triumph.”
They know that gaming is the one thing that often keeps people from switching to Linux. Buying up all these gaming companies is their strategy to keep gamers locked into Windows.
They know that gaming is the one thing that often keeps people from switching to Linux.
They know this because they keep purposefully making Windows worse and less consumer-friendly. They want you to use Windows how they want you to use it, in a way that maximizes profit for Microsoft.
Long live GOG.
If only they would support Linux / Proton officially even minimally…
imo its not big/useful enough to matter. if it did, MS would have wanted to buy it as well :)
If MS did buy Valve would gamers finally rise up?
gamers rise down 😂
wtf they just had trouble buying Activision/Blizzard and now they wanna buy Valve. they would ruin valve
No, three years ago they contemplated buying Nintendo or Valve. Activision happened because those two didn’t.
Gotta obfuscate the fact that this is years old information to maximize the rage clicks.
ohh hell no… I am done with microshit
