I would think that most of the bloggers got it all wrong.

If Google have bought Valve, it would not be for the Android app store.

The most obvious reason why Google would buy Valve is that Microsoft is moving aggressively into in-game advertising and by buying Valve, Google just got themselves a massive platform to distribute their future in-game advertising solutions.

I hope Valve will be "Still Alive" after it gets bought by Google.

Yeah, I can't imagine playing a sequel to Portal in a browser.

If it did happen, would Valve members be compensated with stock and cake?

Don't you know Cake is a lie. ;)

I hope so too. And I think that's hilarious. Almost poetic.
