As lucrative as Valve and Steam may seem to buy, even for 10x that amount, any analyst who is realistic about suggesting the purchase to another company would know that it isn't worth it. Not that it's a bad buy, but whoever can afford to buy it likely could not help themselves but fuck it up and run the whole operation to the ground.

I agree with you and that works in a sane economy. Thank fucking Christ that Elon isn't a big gamer....

Elon was able to buy Twitter because it's public, and it wasn't making money.

Valve is a privately owned company, and I have a feeling they care a little about what they're doing.
