Who else is thinking of murdering EA?

[Mardalf]

I mean a few of my favorite games are by EA but they're mostly older

I just got an idea.
Valve should buy Mojang
then make Minecraft triply awesome.

Guys, those talks happened a long time ago (somewhere between 2004-2008 I think)

Obviously nothing happened.

Edit:

From the New York Time's tour of Valve Headquarters:

Not that Mr. Newell hasn’t had opportunities to sell out. 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 who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private.

Why the hell would they do that. There's no point and Jeb or whoever's in control of Mojang right now would never agree to it. They're drowning in money already, being bought out would be a stupid idea.

Hey guys, what's up?

he just thinks that combining two things will instantly make them awesome
it's like saying "meatloaf is good, and so is ice cream, so if we dumped ice cream on meatloaf, it will be amazing!"

[Mardalf]

[Mulch]

Good thing Gabe said "I'd rather let valve disintegrate than sell out."

[Mute]
