In one of the slightly more oddball rumours that has come about lately, esspecially with Gabe Newell's recent insistance that VALVe are happy as ever being independant, The Inquirer has published a report stating that a Google takeover of Valve is imminent.

As unlikely as it sounds, Google are the sort of people who would strike me as the right type to buy out the company, if only for the established digital distribution service that is Steam.
