Rumor: Google is Set to Acquire a Company Named Valve

Citing “well placed sources”, The Inquirer reported that Google is set to acquire gaming company Valve any time now. If you’re like who haven’t heard about Valve before, the company is responsible for a content distribution platform called Steam. Words on the streets say that Steam is Google’s major interest for acquiring Valve.

Industry watchers are speculating on the reason behind Google’s decision to buy Valve (if indeed, the well placed sources leaked info is correct) Some are even thinking that Google maybe entering the video market, but no words have came out yet from the Google camp.

Both parties would benefit from this rumored Valve acquisition deal. But Greg Sterling has a nice way of putting this event into a clearer perspective.Sterling said that this will bring about a more interesting, more coheren opportunity – equating it into online gaming+virtual worlds+ socia networking and advertising. 

As of yet, no words are coming out from the Google camp.
