Nice job not selling out, gabe
 
To hell with EA, it keeps being the only company I boycott and I'll keep boycotting it.

Seriously, 1 billion dollars? You're not even fucking trying. Go kill yourself EA. Bobby Kottick is worth 10 times more money than your shitty company. Yes, I just went there.

Although Valve’s finances are private, Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, estimates that the company could be worth around $2.5 billion today.​
Mr. Newell said that there was a better chance that Valve would “disintegrate,” its independent-minded workers scattering, than that it would ever be sold.​
“It’s way more likely we would head in that direction than say, ‘Let’s find some giant company that wants to cash us out and wait two or three years to have our employment agreements terminate,’ ” he says.​

So from 4 small paragraphs they make some crazy sensationalist news story.
