Rumor: Zenimax buying Valve?

In this weeks GamesIndustry.biz newsletter, titled Digital Survival, Rob Fahey suggests that rumors are out there that Zenimax might be buying Valve:

However, it’s also worth watching closely what happens to Steam in the coming months. Unconfirmed industry scuttlebutt suggests that Zenimax – the parent company of Bethesda, which made headlines back in June when it acquired legendary PC studio id Software – is still on the acquisition trail, and has been making eyes at “Half-Life” creators Valve across the bar.

It remains to be seen if this acquisition will come to fruition but it certainly is an interesting suggestion. It’s important to keep in mind though, that Valve is a privately owned company and can’t just be bought.
