According to IGN, EA has been interested in Valve for quite some time now.
Electronic Arts was apparently prepared to pay up to $1 billion in order to acquire Valve, according to a new report.
The New York Times claims to have seen a report which lists the various opportunities Gabe Newell has had to sell the company in the past.
“Valve has been pursued over the years by Electronic Arts, which would very likely have valued Valve at well over $1 billion had the talks progressed that far,” it explains.
The article goes on to say the claims come courtesy of “two people with knowledge of the discussion who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private”.
OH GOD NO, DON’T DO IT VALVE, DON’T DO IT!
EA will use the The Sims franchise to promote Valve’s games. Like TS3 Supernatural Plants vs. Zombies
The Sims 3 – Half-Life 2 Especial Edition
The Sims 3 – Team Fortress 2 Especial Edition
The Sims 3 – Fun with Portal 2
LOL
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!
Thank goodness the deal didn’t go through!
You guys, chill out! Valve didn’t want EA to buy them, and the deal has since fell through, which means there is no deal and Valve shall stay awesome and completely separate from EA.
*headdesk*
Don’t you dare touch Valve, EA.
Id love this to happen so much. If they allowed Valve to be “seperate” so to say, like Microsoft did with Skype.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER DO THAT! EVER! EA sucks shit while Valve doesn’t
