The article says Microsoft would like to buy Valve. Of course they do. Valve is actively working against Microsoft's interests (and we have to thank them for that).

It does not say Gabe Newell has the slightest intention to sell. Because he doesn't.

Yea, but Gabe is not going to be around forever, and any successor leadership might have a different philosophy. And it's never a bad idea to have a backup.

I hope to god he personally takes a someone he wants as his company successor under his wing and mentors them under his ways so that we may not worry as much. That's if he doesn't already have one or doesn't have plans for it.
