It’s probably a combination of things:

1) Google is made of Geeks. Geeks love Valve.

2) Steam is a pretty interesting platform from the end user perspective with a lot of features and a lot real estate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ads within steam (it’s been a while since I’ve opened it, but they do internal advertising – for other games on the platform – to some extent already). Also, it would be interesting to integrate to some extent down the road with in game advertising with Valve.

3) Steam does seem to have a good architecture for moving big chunks of data and applications around fairly quickly. I don’t know how much about it is necessarily a unique solution, but I imagine they’ve innovated a decent amount on the back end. This alone could be interesting for Google to continue pushing us into the “cloud” (and back to having to request cycles from the mainframe computer, but you know).

Hey, if it happens, maybe Google will persuade Valve to actually develop for the Mac. We all know Google has a stellar mac development reputation. /sarc Mike P.'s last blog post..AdWords 201 : Negative Keywords for Increased CTR and Conversion

Taking control of Valve would be a very interesting move! Combine that with their control of Adscape Media, and well… they can create the Adwords for video games.

The cake is a lie.
