Electronic Arts was ready to spend more than $1 billion in order to purchase Valve, according to a report on the
New York Times . Despite talks, the chance of a deal ever happening remains slim at best.[/color]Valve co-owner Gabe Newell would rather see the company "disintegrate" than to ever be sold. "It’s way more likely we would head in that direction than say, 'Let’s find some giant company that wants to cash us out and wait two or three years to have our employment agreements terminate,'" said Newell.Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter has estimated the value of Valve at more than $2.5 billion today. "Valve has been pursued over the years by Electronic Arts, which would very likely have valued Valve at well over $1 billion had the talks progressed that far, said two people with knowledge of the discussion."Peter Moore, the chief operating officer at EA said that Valve is "on the cutting edge of the future of this industry."
