There have been plenty of rumours over the years claiming that major game publishers have put in offers to acquire Valve, the company behind huge IP like Half-Life and Portal. Given that Valve also owns and operates the Steam Store, the company has never exactly been hurting for cash, so the idea that anyone would be able to buy them has often been scoffed at. However, that isn't stopping this from popping up in headlines again this week, as it has been claimed that Microsoft is preparing an offer.
Dior, a gaming-focused creator who is known in the Counter-Strike community, has claimed to have heard that Microsoft is preparing a $16 billion offer to acquire Valve Corporation, a deal that would also presumably include the Steam Store, the most popular PC gaming platform.
There are plenty of reasons why this would make good sense for Microsoft, as the company is desperate to get into the handheld market, something that Valve already has a foothold in thanks to the Steam Deck. Beyond that, it would vastly improve Microsoft's PC gaming revenue, as owning the Steam Store is essentially like owning a money printer.
