Disney Buying Valve

Closed
vcvc8

According to PC Gamer:

"[on buying Valve] We hope to make better games, that will appeal more to our audience, and make Steam more kid-friendly, by removing social features, and limiting the ESRB for only Ec-T ratings. Also, with the purchase of Valve, we will have a better team to develop our games, such as the upcoming "Shake it Up: Interactive Dance Studio", and "Phineas and Ferb: Summertime fun". We also asked Disney whether or not they will continue creating original Valve games "Well, even though Half-Life 3 is planned for a 2014 release, we decided to scrap the game, and start it from scratch with a less violent atmosphere, and a planned ESRB rating of E10+. One of the big changes we are gonna do to upcoming Valve games is more product placement, and classic Disney characters you can interact with in game". When asked about Gabe Newell's standing in the decision, Disney CEO,Bob Iger, responded "Gabe Newell agreed to sell Valve to us if we agree to continue Valve's series Left 4 Dead, and Half Life. He wants to stay in Valve, but we are negotiating with him so he could leave, and we could put our own Jerry Smith in charge of Valve."

Interesting read. However, I hope Valve will decline this offer. I'm not ready for Mickey Life 3.

Valve/Gabe would never sell. Especially to D$

However if this happens..... I'll probably be done with Steam as I can see D$ just taking all violence out of it.

the company that owns the Disney brand also owns a company that produces porn.
The more you know.

Also, fake post is very fake. Linking to youtube vids from a troll article just to get more "views" is kinda sad.

I wouldn't actually mind having Sora in my Steam <3. What we would need is a new Kingdom Hearts -themed Steam skin, that would be freaking awesome :D

Naw they trolling.. After what Gabe said about EA buying them, I really doubt he would sell to Disney, who seemingly wants to tear steam down. I think valve would be better off in EAs hands than Disney tbh.

Would end up with EA games on steam; they wouldn't take social aspects out of steam; wouldn't make everything kid friendly; probably would ruin the good valve games and dry them out, but at least it wouldn't be a complete destruction of the games (Mickey life 3 as someone said).

They are just trolling

I know what The Onion is and I know what satire is.

I'm not commenting on that, I'm commenting on the people stupid enough to believe it.

That in mind, not quite sure of the point or relevancy of you bringing that up.
