Valve are a private company, so Microsoft can't just barge in and buy it up.

Considering the investment Valve has poured into Linux because Gabe doesn't trust Microsoft enough to have his business rely on Windows, I'd be pretty shocked if he decided to sell up to Microsoft.

Valve is my favorite company. Not just because I like video games, but I love the way Gabe runs it. Valve is so customer focused and deserves the "don't be evil" slogan. I am very scared of the day we lose Gabe because it's his vision that drives them. Selling to Microsoft would destroy everything that makes them good.
