With rumors and reports of Microsoft in talks to purchase the long-beloved Valve, it could be the push Microsoft needs to make a larger impact on the gaming world. Imagine all the amazing games and opportunity that could become a reality if Microsoft buys Valve!
HoYoverse has announced the development of a new Honkai game, which looks to feature Pokémon-like creature battles.

I mean… it was pretty underwhelming. They basically slapped on that overused “neon remaster” aesthetic that a bunch of older revivals have leaned on, cranked up the speed a bit, and called it a day. No real innovation, no fresh ideas, just a faster, flashier version of something we’ve already seen.
Cultured Vultures: You love the SNES, we love the SNES, so let’s look at the best SNES games ever together.
UN Squadron, Stunt Race FX, Top Gear 2, Nigel Mansell F1, Rock 'n' Roll Racing, Adam's Family, Super Probotector. Top 3 for me, Mario Kart, Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Mario World. It kills me that the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo generation has gone. Going from a Commodore 64 to a Mega Drive and Super Nintendo, the much higher costs of games, I couldn't play them all.
Why do you want these games to come to fruition from an impossible buyout? You should be wanting these games regardless of an acquisition
A physics driven Half Life 3 would either need a ton of always on cloud physics, or wait until next gen cpus come out. I want it to kick up a notch.
Why would anyone think if MS buying Valve they do it because of the games?
It's obvious if that were to happen the main reason would be to get Steam and its huge PC marketshare. MS themselves has so much dormant IP they never touched despite their current lack of games that it's idiotic to think the first thing they'd do if there's a Valve buyout is eagerly making games.
Why do we keep getting these articles? There are no rumors with any veracity that MS is looking to buy Valve. Gabe has outright said he's not aware of MS contacting him over it. The only reports that exist are because of the unverifiable rumor.
This is such a non-issue, that it's not even worth discussing the rhetorical anymore.
