Title: NCSoft/Nexon looking to buy Steam?
Post by: Mantic on October 01, 2012, 05:33:41 AM

Apologies if I'm repeating an earlier notice about this. I just came across it and hadn't heard about it before:

I did catch something about Gabe Newell recently making a Charlton Heston-esque statement about taking Valve/Steam down before letting it be taken over, but what happens when he's gone?

Steam users soiling themselves at the thought aside, this seems geared again to playing psychological games with NCSoft investors. Showing off that the company remains a financial powerhouse regardless of the losses incurred.

There have been a few posts on that. It's been debunked.

This rumor has been debunked. There is no validity to NCSoft purchasing Steam.
