Gabe has stated multiple times that the company would breakup rather then sell out. The rumors, which NCsoft denied, said they were going to buy out Valve for 893 million. HA, Valve has been estimated to be worth 1 billion to 4 billion. Not to mention Valve already turned down EA and they offered them 1 billion. So to ease your mind, Valve is not and will not sell out to Nexon.
Yay! Whew!
I'm not saying Valve is even remotely going to buy CoH, but they're a fine company and I'd hate to see anything bad happen to them regardless.
And people wonder why NCSoft's stock is up and down like a yo-yo.

((Although to be fair, from what I can gather in the stock market, you can miss out big (or lose big) if you don't act on a rumor))

Indeed - kinda makes you wonder who might be starting these rumours doesn't it?

Maybe it was a rumor started by someone in NCSoft to jumpstart their stock prices

This would be like North Korea buying out Disneyland.

Jeez, and here we were sending Gabe emails at Valve asking him to buy CoH! Someone should warn him about NCSoft's terrible support for the west if he's even remotely thinking about actually doing this.
Let's hope this horrid thought stays a rumor only!
