Do you really think it’s just going to be sold off? One of Valve’s biggest strengths is its ability to remain an independent private company. I would hope that Gabe’s succession plan doesn’t change that.

I don't think hoping so makes it likely.

Let me rephrase that. I think it’s more likely that Valve will not sell to the highest bidder and will stay private. Their ability to control their own destiny has driven their success.

Don't hope, be prepared. Back up your games.
