Disney's new 1.5bil stake in Epic Games, Microsoft / Blizzard Aquisition.. Think Valve's next?

[dantès]

Apple is Lurking... mergers and acquisitions on the horizon..

beginning of the end?

Epic operates off a loss and Activision-Blizzard was saved from bankruptcy by Microsoft.

Valve is in an economically good position.

That may very well change my opinion of Epic games and how I view EGS.

Don't need a woke company getting all friendly with where I get some of my games.

Since when is Valve for sale in any way, partial or wholly?

nobody said anything about 'sale'.. I said buy 'stake' in the company.. like how Disney just bought stake in Epic games.

Hence, "partial" in my question.

Epic kinda needs the money because well. Operating at a loss. FOrtnite kinda slowing down. _+ the payouts to Apple, and the incoming payouts to Google. Epicn needed some capital injection from disney and the fact that they did says EPic isn't looking as resey asy Sweeny likes to portray.

As for Blizzacti...Yeah MS saved them from bankruptcy.

Valve on the other hand ius self sustaining, and not in debt.
It doesn't need a capital investment. I mean have you seen Palworld?
