Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the entity that officially acquires Valve Corporation. An acquisition is defined as a definitive agreement being signed by both parties to transfer majority ownership or control of Valve Corporation to another entity.

Resolution will be based on official announcements from Valve Corporation or the acquiring entity, or reports from reputable financial news outlets (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal).

If no acquisition agreement is signed by an entity by the time this market closes, or if Valve remains independently owned, this market will resolve to the "Other" option automatically added by the platform.

Background

Valve Corporation, founded by Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington in 1996, is a prominent American video game developer, publisher, and digital distribution company. It is best known for developing the Steam platform, as well as iconic game franchises such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Dota 2, and Team Fortress.

Valve has historically remained a private company and has not pursued an acquisition or initial public offering (IPO), maintaining independence from larger tech conglomerates and traditional game publishers. As the market uses an "ANYONE" add-answers mode, additional entities may be proposed as potential acquirers over the lifespan of this market.
