Bump Now I'm 100% sure. In the coming 10 years, Valve will be bought by Sony Computer Entertainment America. Arguments: - Sony starts to release more games to the PC platform (DC Universe Online for example, both PS3 and PC) - Sony stated they'll make a SDK + drivers for their Move controller for the PC (Portal 2 with Move, anyone?) - Microsoft has Microsoft Games for Windows Live (or whatever it is named) and combines it with Xbox Live + phones - Valve wants to expand with Steam (support for Mac, PS3 etc.). With Sony's support they can expand their platform even more (such as mobile phones). However, I'm sure if Valve would be bought, they would still be an independent company.
