Well, that's certainly an article title isn't it. But I mean it. Microsoft, don't you dare touch Valve. You're fat enough already and too big as it is.

    Given that Valve is a private company, I hope this would also mean that it’s a bit harder for MS to attempt a hostile takeover by buying up majority stocks.

    But yeah, MS can fuck right off. The only reason to buy Valve would be to reduce competition

      Since it’s a private company, they can’t perform a hostile takeover. There are no shares to buy.

        Actually, private companies can still have shares - they’re just not listed through a public stock markets - and the transfer of such generally need to be approved by the company.
