If you think it's been rather cold recently, then it may have something to do with Satan's underground fire-hole freezing over... or it could just be the effects of another wonderful British Summer™.Spurious claims are all but abounding over at The Inquirer that Google are looking to buy Valve, citing:
'WELL PLACED SOURCES tell us that Google is going to be buying Valve any second now.'
If so, then what would this mean for Valve? What would the future hold for Steam? Browser-based, ad-supported content? Who are these 'well placed sources'? And what on Earth is this 'any second now' nonsense? Had the informant popped to the lavvy to phone in mid-deal?
All these questions and many more remain dubiously unanswered here.
Thanks to RPS for the story.
EDIT: Since yesterday morning Valve's Doug Lombardi has responded by saying this rumour is a "complete fabrication". Well, who'd have thunk it? Bad, Inquirer. Bad.
