Google buying Valve!! September 17, 2008
Rumours abound that Google might be buying game maker and distributor Valve in the next few days. Various media sources have indicated that it is a pretty substantial rumour and should go ahead shortly.
Why would an Internet giant like Google buy a gaming company you ask? Well it has something to do with the fact that Valve also operates ‘Steam’, one of the best online game distribution networks around (..well probably the best). I use steam everyday to play online games including Team Fortress, Call of Duty 4 and ET: Quake Wars.
With Google’s power behind the great idea/implementation that is Steam we could see buying/playing games online becoming even more popular and widespread over the coming years.
