He's ex-Microsoft. He knows them.

Maybe he likes being in charge.

It's never enough for them.

If you had a tree that grew $100 bills every month, would you sell it for $10,000?

Because he hates Microsoft.

If I was an old fat guy I would sell it for anything above 25 years worth of profit.

Why retire when he's getting paid for doing nothing now?

Because I'm only going to be alive for another 7 years.

He's already practically retired and still making money.

The longer he stays in the game the higher the risk of being dragged into various fights

Just do the anti-notch. Sell it and disappear.

Whatsapp was sold for $15bn, have you ever head a word from the founders?

and you think you will be able to use 50bn in 7 years?
there are nine 0s in a billion.

His son is in charge of the company and he is basically already retired and is useless now

Not all of aspire to starve to death working in a factory for the glory of the state

Your example is too simple. George Lucas sold Star Wars even though he didn't need to because he was tired of managing it and wanted to spend the little time he had left with his family.

He should sell it to EA or the Chinese. Then watch all zoomies realize they never owned their games.

You don't even own your own life, chang

Now do Notch.

if he was smart, he would. his son seems like a complete fuck up and thinks he has an ounce of the same luck his father had. soon as the gravy kills gaben, steam goes with him.

No, he sold it because he got constant hate for everything he did. It was basically selling it out of spite. What reason would Gabe have to sell? Valve is basically printing money. There's no offer in the world that would be worth it unless something extremely silly is offered, but even then - managing your own company is more fun than just having money for many people.

these ppl can't retire, they just have to keep moving. The can't sit still. He can retire already, he does not need to sell it for billions.

>Why not sell it all for $50bn+ and retire?
First off he has enough money either way, second off he actually cares about games slightly

>guy that knows microsoft better than you doesn't trust microsoft
yes what could go wrong with selling the largest digital PC shop & publisher & social platform & dev ecosystem to Microsoft? what a great idea he could have more money to never spend before he dies you guys really think of everything
