A recent post on the Inquirer has stated that “well placed sources” are reporting that Google is in the market to buy Valve and that the deal could go down any minute. Many believe Google’s interest in Valve is not so much for their amazing games, but for their content distribution system, Steam. Valve’s Steam service has been well ahead of the curve of all digital distribution services and is constantly getting new content added weekly. The deal seems good for both parties, but we’ll have to wait and see if any of this is indeed true.

UPDATE: Kotaku has contacted Valve’s Lead, Doug Lombardi, and were told that the Google buyout rumors are fiction.
