Completely agree about the not selling. Not so sure that Google would get zero benefit, though.<p>Firstly, Valve is <i>extremely</i> profitable, crazily so, and seems (imo) unlikely to stop being so profitable, so short of a crazily high PE ratio it would eventually pay for itself. Secondly, they&#x27;d be buying a userbase of 100m+, including presumably lots of interesting data from steam chat, gaming preferances, etc.
