Wow, that's some rumour. If Google buy Valve, I think I'd actually cry.
(Thanks Yoz!)
UPDATE: "Complete fabrication" says Valve's Doug Lombardi. Interesting choice of words: I guess he doesn't think much of The Inquirer!

It's the Inquirer. They're hardly a reliable source.
In fact, I've often wondered if they do just sit around making shit up.

@Mr.Tom: LOL, exactly. For a minute there I was thinking I was going to have to look at the childish lookin' Google logo every time I start up Half-life. Sheesh.

I was thinking more that the ever-changing logo on the Google homepage would have a head-crab on it.
It's actually somewhat plausible if you think about it. Marry Valve's Steam tech with Google Checkout and some of their other infrastructure and you have a really competitive digital distribution platform.
Hmm....

I think it's more likely that Google would buy Steam from Valve.

Wow Thanks for the informative read :-)

It's even more likely that Google would come into some kind of agreement for use of Steam, or licence the tech I think. But all in all it's MOST likely to be all a steaming pile of bull poop.
